Fill the Need for Christians in Law

To meet this need, PCC provides an academically demanding pre-law emphasis that prepares articulate and knowledgeable servant leaders for various legal professions.

To give students the background for meeting the challenges of law school, PCC’s pre-law emphasis includes courses in history, American government, economics, accounting, criminal justice, debate, public speaking, creative writing, Western and British literature, and English grammar and composition.
