Woud this be a reasonable approach?

Hello! My son’s finally sorted out what he wants to do … well, actually he’s known for a long time that he’s wanted to go to law school, it was more the matter of what he’d study on the way to getting there. DS is a graduating high school senior, who will be attending a state school. He’s gotten into the honors program, and he plans to major in Economics with a minor in English. Because he comes in with so much AP credit … best we can figure 28-31 credit hours, of course depending on him passing this next round of exams, but he’s passed them all thus far … so a reasonable assumption, he could do an accelerated program, which allows him to receive his B.A in Economics, as well as an M.S. in economics and still get out in 4 years. He figures on going the thesis route. He’s comfortable with this so far, although he hasn’t seen the academic advisor yet or scheduled classes … but he has priority registration with his honors status. If it looks as though the M.S. is not doable within that four year time frame, he would do an honors thesis instead. Of course, assuming excellent grades and LSAT scores, is this a reasonable plan of attack for reaching his goal – law school.

Thanks, in advance!
