The Paralegal Studies program is designed to introduce students to the substantive and practical aspects of the paralegal function, leading to an Associate in Applied Science degree. The program emphasizes both the theory and the practice of paralegal procedures essential for employment in a law office or other legal settings. The program can be pursued on a full or part-time basis.

Students wishing to transfer to four-year schools as pre-law majors should consult the Business Department.
