Paralegal Studies

The paralegal (legal assistant) profession is dynamic and growing. The efficient law office of today is incomplete without the prudent use of paralegals, working under the supervision of lawyers. As a key fixture in the legal services landscape of the 21st Century, paralegals can generate profitability to law firms, lower bills for clients and contribute toward cost-effective management of law firms.

We offer both an undergraduate degree-completion option and a certificate for students who have already completed a Bachelor's degree.
