@TheCoin45: Okay, I’m going to repeat what @ljberkow said :
“The truth is that you can major in anything, take the LSAT, and go to law school.”

There is no “program” (I don’t know anywhere with a “program” for pre-law folks). There is pre-law advising, but you can literally do what you want academically except for perform poorly and skip out on the LSAT (or GRE at some schools now). You need to build the skills mentioned through your coursework, do as well as possible, and use the skills you gained to ease LSAT preparation, and then do well on that. Pre-laws are ultra heterogeneous in their academic choices because law schools have no specific course requirements. It is not like being pre-health and it is not an undergraduate program like GBS BBA.

If you want to become involved with any of political science’s programs directly related with law, there is this fellowship:

and these courses:

If you want to take a rigorous set of non-bschool pre-req GERs/courses that will build the skills mentioned before applying to GBS, I perhaps recommend the Voluntary Core Program courses:
http://college.emory.edu/voluntary-core/index.html

That should also be really appealing to anyone wanting to study law in the future and wants a more intellectual experience for the first year or 2.

But still, these are NOT pre-law programs. They are simply things that may appear to many pre-law students. The only thing to know is that pre-laws at Emory place really well. But there was no “track” they were on that was specifically designed for those going to law school.

See how loose these guidelines are:

As for CS, as long as course is not offered at Emory at all, yes you may cross-enroll.

@ljberkow : Can you please clarify this about the law school thing?
