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.
