MHCC Advisor:
Janet Campbell: 503-491-7430 - Room AC 2677 Janet.Campbell@mhcc.edu
This curriculum follows suggestions of the Association of American Law Schools for students contemplating the study of law. The required skills include language, critical thinking, and a broad liberal arts background.
Curricular Outcomes
At the completion of this curriculum, the student should be able to:
- demonstrate understanding of basic principles/concepts of political phenomena using critical thinking skills
- demonstrate basic knowledge of US Government
- analyze political phenomena from a comparative perspective.
In addition, completion of these courses fulfills the degree requirements for the Associate of Arts-Oregon Transfer degree which provides junior standing at all of the Oregon University System schools. However, students from MHCC seeking a baccalaureate degree may also transfer to other institutions that require different courses within the various subject areas of General Education. Students interested in transferring to a four-year college or university after MHCC should consult with the institution they will be attending, and an MHCC adviser or the Academic Advising and Transfer Center. These recommendations are meant to serve as a general guideline for students pursuing Pre-Law.
