THE CONNECTED DEGREE 2 + 2 CURRICULUM
Delaware Tech's Paralegal associate degree program, which is approved by the American Bar Association (ABA), prepares graduates to use a range of research methods and information to complete a variety of legal activities including producing the documents necessary for a functioning law office.

As a graduate of the program, you'll be able to pursue career opportunities in federal, state and local governmental agencies, law firms, the court system, banks, insurance companies, private business, and corporations. Wilmington University's baccalaureate degree program in Legal Studies emphasizes the knowledge, skills, and values needed to become a competent and ethical professional working in the legal services industry. It provides sound preparation for students aspiring to further study law or for those wishing to enter the legal field as a paralegal or legal assistant working under the supervision of an attorney. Additionally, students will gain a solid foundation for careers in other areas, including government, human resources, and banking.
