If you are interested in exploring law school, you should look into Mesa's Pathway to Law School Program.

Here is a potential COURSE MAP for Political Science majors transferring to UCSD or SDSU with the LAW Pathway.

MENTORING

Our program is a great place to prepare to transfer as a political science major to the UCs, CSUs or private institutions. We also account for most of the Pathway to Law School students transferring from Mesa. Our former students have followed paths to jobs in the Federal government, local government, campaigns, and the private sector, and to law school, graduate school, and competitive internships.
