Pre-Law/Pre-Legal Administration Associate in Art (LEGAL-AA)

This curriculum provides the first two years in a pre-law curriculum for students who expect to enter law school upon completion of a four-year baccalaureate degree program. It is aimed at a broad general education in the liberal arts and sciences. There is no standard, prescribed pre-law curriculum. However, students who intend to enter a phase of law in which the major emphasis will be business should follow the business transfer program.

Students should consult with an advisor at the college or university they plan to attend for the specific courses recommended by that institution. We strongly encourage you to contact the Pensacola State College Business Department for assistance in planning your program of study.
