My name is Kayla McLaughlin. I am a
junior studying Political Science with a
minor in Legal Studies, and I will be
graduating May of 2018. The Pre-law track
is really interesting here at Methodist
University. It's like you're really
taking law school classes. You are
getting that experience of what the
classes will look like, what the work is
going to look like, what the material is
going to look like. I mean it's very
interactive. You get to participate in a
mock trial with one of the classes which
I was actually on the defense
team for. So you get a lot of really
good hands-on experience that really
prepares you well for what you're going
to see if you go to law school. My
favorite class so far is the class that
I'm actually taking right now, State and
Local Government. It's a really
interesting class. It shows you different
perspective of government that you don't
really think of every day. After I leave
Methodist University, I would hopefully
like to get a career in the nonprofit
sector hopefully working in DC still
within the political realm but i'd like
to work more with nonprofit
organizations. If you're interested in
