Pre-Law Program.
Most law schools have no specific requirements for the
pre-law curriculum. A broad liberal arts background,
however, is recommended. Emphasis is placed upon courses
from diverse fields which may help a student develop
specific skills necessary for the successful practice
of law. While no particular major is specified, the
following courses are strongly recommended by many law
schools: accounting, economics, finance, history, political
science, psychology, English, oral communications, and
philosophy. Students should consult the pre-law advisor
for assistance in planning their pre-law course of
study. |
Minimum GPA Required for Graduation from Dallas Baptist University
DBU requires a minimum cumulative, major, and minor GPA of 2.0 (comprised of transfer and DBU hours).
