JACKSON, Miss. ( WJTV ) – Officials with Belhaven University announced the Bachelor of Arts in Pre-Law program, a new degree designed to prepare students for successful careers in law and related fields.

The B.A. in Pre-Law program at Belhaven combines courses from various disciplines to foster a holistic understanding of the legal field. Students will be well-prepared for the LSAT and law school admissions, and the program also opens doors to graduate studies and employment in legal-adjacent careers.

“Our new Pre-Law program is a significant addition to Belhaven University’s academic offerings,” said Belhaven University Provost Dr. Audrey Kelleher. “We have designed a curriculum that not only prepares students for the rigors of law school but also provides a well-rounded education that integrates public relations, intercultural communication, and criminal justice, all taught from a Christian worldview.”

Officials said the program equips graduates with skills that are valuable in business, criminal justice, and other humanities fields.

“A Pre-Law degree from Belhaven is more than just preparation for law school—it’s an investment in a student’s future, providing a strong foundation in critical thinking, communication, and ethical reasoning,” added Dr. Kelleher. “Our graduates will be well-prepared to make a meaningful impact in their communities and beyond.”

Belhaven University’s new Pre-Law program is now accepting applications for the upcoming academic year.
