Enroll in our Legal Studies Program Courses

We offer an established, convenient, and effective means of entering several careers in the law through our Legal Studies program.  

Our Legal Studies Certificate graduates are employed in a variety of positions all across the United States with a wide range of job titles, with the most common being Paralegal or Legal Assistant. We have also seen a number of graduates go on to law school and become lawyers.  If you have an interest in earning a career in law, this is the place to start your education and training. 

Students who have not yet earned an ICC or other college degree may be permitted to take Legal Studies courses while also enrolled in and moving towards completion of an ICC degree.  

We have many successful graduates who took this path, earning their transfer Criminal Justice or Business Administration degrees, as an example.  These students take our Legal Studies courses simultaneously and then earn their Legal Studies certificate in proximity to their ICC transfer degree.  

Our students typically need to work during or immediately after our program to support themselves and their families.  

We work to provide students with an opportunity to earn the credentials that will provide the best options and opportunities.   

As a graduate of an ICC transfer degree and our Legal Studies certificate, you will find great employment options in the legal field, likely before or through your Legal Studies internship course.  And, you will have affordable and accessible transfer options that allow you to complete a 4-year degree.  

So whether you have earned a college degree or not, our Legal Studies certificate is a pathway to a career in the law.
