This minor enhances your knowledge of the legal system and is meant for students interested in heading to law school. But if you’re just interested in legal issues or how the law affects society, this is a great minor to add.
Law schools do not require you to major in anything specific. They want students to explore their interests whether it be history, literature, math or science. Heidelberg's Pre-Law Advisor will provide you with one-on-one advice as well as references for law school.

When you first get to college, everyone warns you about how different it’s going to be, and it was. But from my time at Heidelberg, I felt prepared to succeed in my career.
One of the best part of Heidelberg is getting to know and working with your professors. You'll be supported and challenged as you develop skills and experiences centered around research you're interested in.
