Associate’s degrees for the legal profession are usually taken in pre-law or political science – typically considered the best educational foundations for a law career – and are stepping stones to further education.

Find Legal Degree Programs Online

Online legal and paralegal degrees provide you with the opportunity to start or advance your legal career while continuing to work full-time. For example, working on your paralegal associate’s degree online allows you to keep a regular job – perhaps in a related field like law clerk – while taking your paralegal courses when time permits. Completing a legal or paralegal associate’s program presents you with financial advantages too; according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, holding an associate’s degree means earning almost $10,000 more annually than someone who has only a high school diploma.

Sample Degree – Associate of Applied Science (AAS) in
Paralegal Studies

This two-year program (assuming full-time coursework) prepares you for entry-level paralegal positions and can also serve as a strong base for later study in a bachelor’s program. The jobs that an AAS in Paralegal Studies qualifies you for typically involve work such as reviewing contracts and doing research under the supervision of a lawyer.
