Does
the Paralegal Studies Program offer job assistance? |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
Law
firms and other agencies often submit open position requests to
the department. Job opportunties are forwarded to our instructors
through e-mail to announce in class and to the Job Placement Office
for listing. You may contact the Job Placement Office at (305) 237-3008
for assistance. Job opportunities are also available on the bulletin
board in Rm. 3506 in Building III of the Wolfson Campus. |

If
I do not pass the math portion of the CPT (College Placement Test),
why do I need to take remedial math courses since math is not required
in the program? |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
Yes.
The State of Florida requires students to pass all portions of the
College Placement Test. Anyone who has non-exempt test scores must
complete a prescribed remedial course prior to graduation.

Can
I obtain an Associate of Arts Degree in addition to my Associate in
Science Degree? |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
Yes.
You must take eighteen additional general education credits to complete
the A.A. Degree. |

What
is the difference between the internship and the co-operative education
course? |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
Students
who work in a legal atmosphere or are able to work with the legal
department within their current job are required to take the practicum,
also commonly referred to as the Co-op. Those that do not work or
are working in a non-legal related field are required to take the
Internship. The Internship requires the student to work twenty hours
per week at the Internship site provided by the department. |

|
|
|
| |
|
How
do I apply for graduation? |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
Students
apply for graduation during the last term while registered in either
the Internship or Co-operative education course. The instructor
will provide instructions of the materials required. Completed graduation
applications are then submitted to the Office of the Register by
the Paralegal Studies Programs staff for processing. |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
Are
credits rewarded to students for work experience? |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
Unfortunately
no. The State of Florida prohibits public institutions from awarding
such credit. |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
Are
courses available online or at other campuses? |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
All
course requirements for the Paralegal Studies Program must be taken
at the Wolfson Campus. However, the general course requirements
such as ENC1101, ENC1102, PSC1515, PPE1005, ACG2001, ACG2001L, and
SPC1026 may be taken at any campus, through open college, or online
to meet the needs of the student. |
