School of Business, Education and Professional Studies - Legal Studies Program

Associate in Arts (AA) in Legal Studies

About the Program

SFCC's Legal Studies program is designed for students who intend to obtain bachelor's degrees with emphasis in Pre-Law studies at a four year institution. It provides general education requirements, a foundation for success in law school and basic core courses designed to prepare students for work in the field of law past their associate degree.

The American Bar Association does not recommend to law schools exactly what courses should be included for pre-professional education. High on the list of courses recommended by leaders of the legal profession, however, are English language and literature, government, communication, economics, American history and English history. Majors in English, Spanish, and history are all recommended backgrounds for law school.
