Course Offerings and Strongly Recommended Schedule for Paralegal Program Students Who Plan to Starting in Summer Session

It is strongly recommended that students enroll in ENG 1108 before or concurrently with PA 1102 – Introduction to Law and Contracts, and PA 1105 - Criminal Justice System. Also, it is strongly recommended that Associate in Science degree students take a mixture of 1/2 paralegal and 1/2 liberal arts courses each semester.

All of the paralegal required courses are available during the day and evening except the summer courses are at night only. All courses are held on campus at Inver Hills or online (with an orientation and proctored tests on campus).
