If you naturally seek justice and equality, respect the state and U.S. Constitutions, and appreciate the importance of law and order in the functioning of a safe and productive society, we make the case for you to embark upon study in Legal Studies.
Our instructors are among the best in the field, with real-world experience that will provide valuable life lessons that augment formal book knowledge. The program has built a reputation for excellence among law schools and law firms.
The Legal Studies program is approved by the American Bar Association (ABA). Non-attorneys may not provide legal services directly to the public, except as permitted by law. The ABA approval requires that nine (9) credit hours of legal specialty courses be taken in the traditional (face-to-face) format.
As required by the ABA, LGS135, LGS140, LGS230, and LGS280 may not be replaced with transfer credits unless the transferred courses were taken in a traditional classroom format.
A minor in legal studies is available to any student outside the paralegal associate and legal studies bachelor’s programs.
