There is also a night program available, which requires fewer credit hours.

This is mainly because the daytime program requires an externship to be completed to complete the program.

The program stresses practical skills over theoretical knowledge.

The associate of applied science degree requires additional general education courses as well as the required courses for the paralegal studies degree.

Some of the courses a student can expect to take include legal research, contracts, civil litigation, criminal law, estate planning, wills, trusts, personal injury, and torts.

Communication techniques, critical thinking skills, and research skills, as well as a number of different externship opportunities, are also completed as part of the program.
