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.
