吃瓜网

 

MURRAY, Ky. 鈥� The 吃瓜网 College of Humanities and Fine Arts (CHFA) has produced a high rate of recent graduates being accepted into a law school post-graduation. The students from the department who have applied for law school have seen a 100 percent success rate of getting into a school with a majority of these graduates receiving scholarships.

Dr. Kathy Callahan, Chair of the Department of History, and Dr. Drew Seib, Chair of the Department of Political Science and Sociology, have aided these students in preparing them best for their future law school and bar endeavors.

The Department of Political Science and Sociology in the CHFA offers a pre-law program with a focus in political science combining a political science major with a pre-law minor. With the pre-law area, the undergraduate pre-law students work towards two objectives: admission to law school and to complete an undergraduate degree which will help students compete in law school. Former pre-law students have gone on to a variety of law schools, including University of Louisville, St. Louis University and University of Kentucky.

Seib highlights recent alumni of the program and their current endeavors:

• Desiree Isaac, 鈥�15: She currently serves as the University Attorney and Title IX Coordinator at Shawnee State University.

• Chynnique Ross, 鈥�17: She is a graduate of the University of Illinois Chicago law school and is currently an Associate atElizabeth L. Carter, Esq., LLC. She is also the founder of .

"Yes, recently of the graduates in our pre-law program who have applied for law school, 100 percent of them got into law school somewhere,鈥� said Seib. 鈥淢any of our students do go on to get into one of their top choices, even with scholarships. We have quite a few alums in law school now who are receiving 80 percent plus tuition scholarships and others with smaller scholarships. In addition, it's worth noting that LSAT scores for students in our program have been going up. This I'm sure also helps with the acceptance rate and scholarships.鈥�
