Does
the Paralegal Studies Program offer job assistance or job placement? |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
Law
firms and other agencies frequently submit open position requests to
The Law Center. These job opportunities are posted on our Job
Posting Bulletin board located in Rm. 3506 of the Wolfson Campus. We
also forward the postings to our students that are subscribed to our
online job listserv. |

If
I do not pass the math portion of the CPT (College Placement Test),
why do I need to take remedial math courses since math is not required
in the program? |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
The State of Florida requires students to pass
all portions of the
College Placement Test (CPT). Anyone who does scores below College level
on any portion of the CPT must
complete a prescribed college prep course in that discipline in
order to begin the program.

Can
I obtain an Associate in Arts Degree in addition to my Associate in
Science Degree? |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
Absolutely!
You must take five additional general education classes (15 additional
credits) to complete
the A.A. Degree. It is highly recommended that you consult with a
Law Center advisor for more information on this great opportunity. |

What
is the difference between the internship and the co-operative education
course? |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
Students
who work in a legal atmosphere or are able to work with the legal
department within their current job are required to take the practicum,
also commonly referred to as the Co-op. Those that do not work or
are working in a non-legal related field are required to take the
Internship. The Internship requires the student to work twenty hours
per week at the Internship site provided by the department. |

|
How
do I apply for graduation? |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
In order
to apply for graduation, you must schedule an appointment with a Law
Center advisor for an Exit Interview. During the Exit Interview,
your advisor will go over your degree audit, verify that you qualify
for your exit course (whether it's the Internship or Co-operative education course),
register you for your last semester classes, and then he/she will
assist you in submitting your graduation application. |

Are
credits rewarded to students for work experience? |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
Unfortunately
no. The State of Florida prohibits public institutions from awarding
such credit. |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
Are
courses available online or at other campuses? |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
All
course requirements for the Paralegal Studies Program must be taken
at the Wolfson Campus. However, the general education course requirements
(such as ENC 1101, ENC 1102, PSC 1515, CLP 1006, and
SPC 1017) may be taken at any campus or online. It
is necessary to
see a Law Center advisor before registering each term. |
