A paralegal (also known as a legal assistant or legal clerk) is a professional
who, by training and experience, is qualified to perform legal functions under the direction and supervision of an attorney, court, or military command.
The legal field is desperate for properly trained, intelligent, and enthusiastic persons of the highest ethical caliber.
Studies on the national and state level continue to indicate the great employment potential. CTC's Paralegal/Legal Assistant Program equips its students to gain
employment in federal, state, military, and private sector law departments--even to go on to law school some day.
Our 2-year, 72-credit-hour, program culminates in an Associates of Applied Science Degree (which can be completed
in much less time, depending on whether the student goes year-round, is able to take both daytime and evening classes, and has already completed any general
studies classes). Students may start in the program in any of the three semesters we offer during the year. Each semester, one or more classes are offered online.
