The Paralegal Studies Program is designed to equip students with the practical knowledge and skills required to support legal professionals in a variety of settings, including law firms, government agencies, and corporate legal departments. The program emphasizes a strong foundation in legal theory, ethics, and procedural law, while also providing students with hands-on experience in legal research, document drafting, case management, and client interactions. This program prepares graduates to perform essential paralegal tasks such as conducting legal research, preparing legal documents, and assisting attorneys in case preparation and trial proceedings. Through a combination of coursework and real-world experiences, students will develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills, effective communication, and a thorough understanding of the legal system. Upon completion of the program, students will be well-prepared to enter the workforce as competent paralegals or legal assistants, or to continue their studies in law or related fields.
