If you are planning a career in law, NJIT offers you the following two possible tracks:

• A six-year accelerated program with Seton Hall University School of Law

 This program lets you earn both the Bachelor's and Law degrees in just six years, three years at NJIT and three at Seton Hall. Go here for a full description of the program and application procedure.

This special program is available to outstanding seniors in US high schools who will be United States citizens or permanent residents at the time of their entry into the law school. Students in their freshman year of studies at NJIT or another university may be considered for the Seton Hall Law program.

• A four-year, pre-professional bachelor's degree followed by application to a law school

Honors Scholars who pursue the four-year pre-law program may earn a degree in any department. With your advisor's guidance, you will apply to law school at an appropriate point in your studies at NJIT.  The Legal Studies Minor offers an especially good preparation for law school.

For advice regarding any pre-law program, please contact Professor Richard Sher, Faculty Coordinator for the Legal Studies minor.
