Advising Notes
The following courses require a B- grade or higher: LS 1010, LS 1030, LS 1040 and LS 2040. Students are also required to earn a grade of C or higher in Paralegal Program electives.
General Education requirements and elective courses provide training in effective oral and written communication, and human relations skills. Various courses are taught using team activities in the learning process to develop the student’s interactive skills and to build human relations skills.
It is the student’s responsibility to examine each course description for details of prerequisite classes. Those prerequisites must be satisfied before the designated class may be taken. Students who need to take preparatory classes to meet the requirements for first semester courses should plan on extra time to complete the program.
Cooperative Education is the College’s program for recognizing and rewarding new learning associated with study-related employment in a business, industrial or government work environment. Credit earned from LS 2000 is applied toward graduation requirements as both an alternative required class or as an elective credit. Contact the Cooperative Education Department at (801) 957-4014.
The Legal Studies Department strongly recommends that students enhance their employment opportunities through Cooperative Education as soon as skills permit, to complement the certificate or degree.
The Associate of Applied Science Degree has been reviewed and approved by the American Bar Association.
