Description: Lansing Community College is conveniently
located in Lansing, MI, just blocks from the capitol building
and state government. Two legal assistant (paralegal) program
options are offered: the Associate Degree in Business and the
Post-Baccalaureate Certificate. Students with no previous college
can usually complete the associate degree curriculum in two years
if they attend full-time. Because post-baccalaureate certificate
students have already earned a bachelor's degree from an accredited
institution, they usually can complete the requirements in one
year, attending full-time. Both programs have been approved by
the ABA since 1988.
