Pre-law, while not a major, is a designation of interest in pursuing the study of law and a resource center for students at Tusculum.
Dr. Troy Goodale serves as the Pre-law advisor and will be happy to talk with interested students and applicants about law school, coursework, the LSAT, and other law-related topics.
Along with other faculty and administrative staff at Tusculum, Dr. Goodale will assist you in thinking about a career in the law and preparing law school applications. One hundred percent of recent Tusculum graduates seeking admission to law school have been accepted. In an increasingly competitive application environment, this is quite an accomplishment.
On this page you will find links to pre-law and legal resources on the web. If you have any questions or suggestions, please contact tgoodale@tusculum.edu.
