I want to go to Law School, what should I get my Bachelor's degree in?

Question

Right now I am majoring in Accounting, but I want to go right to law school after obtaining my Bachelor's Degree. Is this a good idea or should I change my major?

Answer 1

Finish the Accounting degree, also take the CPA exam if you have enough credits.... I am not sure which type of law you plan to go into but you will not have to depend on outside sources for your accounting. The business law in accounting will give you a heads up for law school and I personally took audit accounting. I think you are on the right track... Good Luck

Answer 2

If you want to make some serious monies, get your accounting degree take the CPA exam, make sure to keep up your grades, then go and get your law degree, a TAX lawyer makes serious cash and does not have crazy hours as some lawyers when it comes to trial prep

law school really does not care about what major just your grades thing you have done while in school

Answer 3

Your BBA or BS in Accounting will be good start for law school. You should keep your major in Accounting. This will also give you an edge in your tax law class. The reason is that you will do a couple case studies in your Federal Income Tax in the accounting program.

Answer 4

Accounting is a good solid undergraduate major prior to law school, particularly since some of the law school will cover tax law. I don't see a reason to change majors, but a minor in political science might be helpful for you.

Answer 5

Simple: Go to the law schools you want to go to and ask them what Bachelor's degrees they like the best!
