Prepare for a Fast Paced Legal Career with an Associate Degree
Train for one of the fastest-growing occupations in the country and become a Paralegal/Legal Assistant. The U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that the demand for paralegals and legal assistants will grow 28 percent between 2008 and 2018. Jones College's Associate in Science Degree Program with a Legal Assistant Major prepares you for entry-level positions as part of the legal team in any of the following settings:
- Law firm
- Savings and loan association
- Government agency
- Insurance company
- Title company
The Legal Assistant usually works under the supervision of an attorney and assumes part of the attorney's workload, freeing the attorney for tasks that only attorneys are qualified to perform. Your paralegal studies are supplemented with business and general education courses. You'll be prepared for the many critical roles that you may be asked to fulfill in the legal environment. This is not a pre-law program. You can also complete the entire course curriculum through Online Learning.
