With coursework focused on the practical aspects of law, this program provides a broad background and prepares students to work as a paralegal in the legal community, in government, or in business and industry.

Online classes are available; at least 10 credits of legal specialty (PLEGAL) courses must be taken via face-to-face instruction. The program is approved by the American Bar Association.
