Associate in Applied Science in Paralegal

The Associate in Applied Science in Paralegal prepares students for careers in legal services, providing specialized training to support attorneys and other legal professionals. Students gain practical skills in legal research, document preparation, client communication, and legal technology essential to working in a legal environment.

Depending on their educational background, students are eligible for admission to either the degree or the program program. Students may not simultaneously obtain the Associate in Applied Science in Paralegal and Paralegal Preferred Pro-Certificate using the same set of courses. Students who transfer from other paralegal programs must contact the Program Chair to discuss the law course transfer credit policy.

Graduates may continue their education at TCC and work towards a Bachelor's Program in Applied Management or Community Health. Students should discuss their interest in pursuing this path, or any other transfer, with their advisor. Students who plan to transfer to a Bachelor's program at another institution are strongly encouraged to contact their transfer institution to discuss requirements
