As a registered patent attorney I can help you out here. To become elligible to sit for the patent bar exam you need to receive a science degree which is recognized by the US Patent office. Page 6 of this document

You can receive this degree from most any 4 year college. Once you have your elligible degree in hand you then decide if you want to take the patent bar exam at this time and become a "patent agent" or if you want to proceed to law school.
A patent agent is registered to practice "patent law" before the US Patent Office but is not an attorney, that is an Agent cannot give "legal advice" to their clients.
If you want to attend law school, this is where the school name makes more of a difference than your undergrad school. Unfortunately, many law firms hire based on what law school you attended vs. how well you did etc.
If you have more questions, please feel free to ask.
