Bachelor of Science in Legal Studies

Did you know that jobs for paralegals and legal assistants are expected to increase by nearly 30 percent over the next 4-5 years?  Post University's Bachelor of Science in Legal Studies program includes a comprehensive and rigorous curriculum that provides students with the skills and experiences they'll need to succeed in this growing field.

The legal studies program at Post provides a thorough grounding in ethical decision-making as students explore the relationship of the legal system to business, government, and society. The student-oriented curriculum integrates Internet and classroom-directed instructional technology to explore cutting-edge topics and traditional skill-based subject areas.

Post University's legal studies students not only take courses in their major, they take courses in liberal arts, organizational leadership, and personal development – all of which provide the breadth and depth of knowledge needed to become a leader in this field.   Students also participate in a cooperative education program that provides hands-on, real-work work experience before they graduate.

Legal Studies majors may choose a concentration in the following areas: Corporate Law, Law and Technology, Civil and Criminal Trial Law, Environmental Law, and Law Office Administration.  Upon graduation, our legal studies students have two options:  They can pursue a rewarding career as a paralegal in corporate, private, or government organizations, or continue their studies in law school or graduate school.
