Legal Studies / Paralegal Programs
Paralegals work under the supervision of lawyers in various tasks – researching the law, investigating, preparing for hearings, trials, and real estate closings, interviewing clients and witnesses, and preparing legal documents and other legal correspondence. Paralegals cannot give legal advice or represent clients in court. If you are detail-oriented, organized, strong in communications, and enjoy researching and analyzing facts, you might find a career as a paralegal very rewarding.
Shared programs give students access to career majors that might not otherwise be available at their local college. Where these career fields are in high demand, two or more colleges may agree to share program components at the individual colleges. Because the colleges are collaborating, students may need to attend certain classes at another college to fulfill the program requirements. For more information, please contact one of the colleges listed.
