Law School

For students interested law school, political science is one of the most frequently selected majors. In recent years upwards of 25% of our graduates enrolled in law school. In fact, in 2006 and 2007 UWSP had the sixth largest cohort of students enrolled in law school at UW-Madison, the most of any of the UW comprehensives. The Political Science Department provides much of the pre-law advising on campus. Interested students should contact Professor John Blakeman for more information.
