Colleges in South New Jersey for pre-law program?

Hello! I'm currently located in South New Jersey and I want to stay in the area for college. Been considering a pre-law program myself, what are some good choices right here in South Jersey?

a year ago

There are a couple of institutions in South New Jersey that offer strong pre-law programs or have a track record of preparing students for law school.

Rowan University in Glassboro has a Law and Justice Studies major and certificate programs that would provide a good foundation for law school. The institution has partnerships with several law schools in and outside the state, including Rutgers School of Law and Drexel University Thomas R. Kline School of Law, which could streamline your law school application process after you finish undergrad.

The College of New Jersey (TCNJ) in Ewing, though not exactly in South Jersey, it is in the southern part of the state and offers a highly-regarded pre-law advising program. Its History, Philosophy, Politics, Economics, and Law (HPPEL) major could provide a comprehensive preparation for law school if that's the path you decide to take.

Stockton University in Galloway doesn't have a specific "pre-law" program, but their political science program is known for preparing students well for law school. Additionally, they have pre-law advising that many students consider to be helpful.

I would recommend speaking with faculty and students in these programs if possible, and consider other factors that matter to you (like campus culture, cost, etc) before finalizing your decision. It's also worth noting that law schools don't require a specific undergraduate major, so you can pursue any field of study you enjoy.
