CURRICULUM

The Paralegal Studies Diploma Program requires approximately 270 50-minute hours of classroom instruction. In addition to class time, you should expect to spend approximately 15 to 20 hours per week preparing assignments and studying for exams.

To earn the Diploma in Paralegal Studies, you complete the following two courses:

• Basic Concepts in Paralegal Studies
• Advanced Concepts in Paralegal Studies

Each course accrues six-credits, and the entire program must be completed within four academic years. Students have the option of completing the program in two semesters or intensively in one semester. Students in the two-semester program complete the Basic Concepts and Advanced Concepts in separate semesters. The intensive one-semester program allows students to complete both courses in one semester of study.
