South University - Savannah Law Area of Study
Paralegal Studies - Associate of Science
The partially online Associate of Science (AS) in Paralegal Studies degree program at South University provides you with the educational preparation to serve as paralegals or legal assistants.

In keeping with the demands of professionalism, the paralegal program consists of specialized coursework and a supervised externship in selected legal settings both public and private, such as police administration, law firms, real estate companies, title companies, bank and trust agencies, and judicial offices.

This partially online Paralegal Studies program also provides a strong academic foundation for transfer into the Bachelor of Science in Legal Studies degree program.

Four courses within the Paralegal Studies Curriculum must be completed in a traditional classroom format and are not offered online. These courses are indicated in the curriculum list below.

This program is approved by the American Bar Association. The partially online format for the Paralegal Studies degree program is only available through our Savannah campus.

The ABA has approved the South University Paralegal and Legal Studies Programs at Savannah, GA., Montgomery, AL., West Palm Beach, FL., and Columbia, SC. Legal and Paralegal Studies programs offered at our Novi, Richmond and Virginia Beach campuses will not be eligible to apply for ABA approval until they have graduates and have been operating for at least two years. Only the South University program at Savannah has had courses approved in an alternative (online) delivery format by the ABA. Additionally, those who enroll in the partially online Paralegal and Legal Studies Programs in Savannah must complete LGS 1005 Legal Research and Writing I and three other paralegal/legal studies courses of their choice, with guidance from their program director or academic counselor in the traditional classroom format on a South University campus or other institution that meets our transfer criteria.
