National University's BS in Paralegal Studies degree places a strong emphasis on developing students' proficiency in legal research and writing. Graduates will possess the industry-current knowledge and skills to pursue positions at law firms and in-house legal departments, ranging from finance and insurance firms, to consulting firms, and health care providers. Our ABA-approved curriculum also offers a strong foundation for students who plan on continuing their education by pursuing a law degree.
Students pursuing their paralegal degree at NU will also have access to and become proficient in both Westlaw and Lexis, the industry leaders for legal research platforms and tools. Most paralegal programs only offer their students access to one or the other.
