Paralegal Studies
Our PARALEGAL STUDIES PROGRAM is offered by the Law Department
to students who are interested in a career as an employee in a
law office or courthouse to assist in the performance of legal services
in civil and criminal matters. It is also valuable to persons seeking employment
in fields such as real estate, insurance, banking, or brokerage.
According to the latest statistics from the Bureau of Labor Statistics,
the job outlook for the field of Paralegals and legal assistants are
projected to grow faster than the average for all occupations through
2012. Despite projections of fast employment growth, competition for
these jobs is rigorous and only the highly skilled, formally trained paralegals
have excellent employment potential. Our program is designed
to provide students with this training as well as internships. Lastly, program
requirements can be obtained by day, night and/or weekend
students.
Our BUSINESS LAW degree is ideal for students looking to go on to
law school as it concentrates on the material covered in law school.

The Business Law curriculum is designed for students interested in a career
in law; students going to apply for admission to a law school that does not
require a bachelor’s degree for entrance; students going into public service,
business, or other types of work where a general knowledge of the law is
valuable. Those students interested in law and intend to transfer to a four
year college should plan a program to meet the graduation requirements of
the specific institution they plan to attend. Students are advised to meet with
faculty from the law department, if they are planning on attending law school.
