Paralegal Studies (260) Associate of Applied Science Degree

Purpose: The curriculum is designed to provide students with the level of knowledge and proficiency needed to provide services to clients under the direction and supervision of a lawyer in firms involved in a variety of specializations within the legal field.

Applied degrees (AAS/AAA) are designed to prepare students for entry into the workforce. Under formal articulation agreements with some four-year colleges and universities, students enrolled in a career/technical program who wish to pursue baccalaureate studies may be able to transfer selected courses into related programs at senior institutions. Students interested in pursuing transfer options should consult with a Thomas Nelson advisor early in their academic career and consult the transfer guide for their intended transfer institution and
major.
