Bachelor of Science in Legal Studies

Used as a stand-alone degree, or as a stepping-stone for entry into many graduate programs, the 120-credit Bachelor of Science in Legal Studies degree prepares students for a career in paralegal, compliance, or as a legal professional. It is also used to gain entry into a wide array of graduate programs, including our Master’s in Business Administration, as well as a Master’s in Legal Studies and Compliance Law, and prestigious law schools.

We are proud to have partnered with National Paralegal College, a division of Crestpoint University. For more than two decades, NPC has offered legal education programs to students across the country and has earned a reputation for expertise in law and the legal profession. Its exclusive legal-research project, LawShelf Educational Media, garners more than one million visits per year from students and members of the public researching legal topics.

This is an ideal choice for students who are considering a career as a paralegal, compliance officer, attorney, human resources, or other common legal professionals. This includes those who specialize in human resources law and other tasks common to almost all medium and large companies. Additionally, students seeking to work as compliance officers may wish to continue into Crestpoint University’s graduate program and earn a Master of Science degree in Compliance Law, a program accredited by the Compliance Certification Board, the United States’ premier organization in corporate compliance.
