    Associate Degree Programs in Law

    Associate degrees often take somewhere between 18 months to three years to obtain. They are typically taken before bachelor degree programs. These degrees are sometimes eligible for transfer, in full or partially, to other degree programs.

    What is an associate degree in law? The law is a complex subject that requires years of study and official examination to practice professionally in most places. An associate degree might be the first step toward that goal. Students might therefore save considerable money on tuition by studying the introductory and general education topics often covered in these courses locally before applying for transfer to a compatible institution. Common general subjects covered are oral communication, mathematics, humanities and science. In addition, these courses also tend to investigate topics in law, such as brief writing, legal procedure, ethics and business law.

    In an associate degree program, students are likely to develop in-depth research and study skills that help them succeed in a law program or many other endeavors. Attention to detail may also improve students’ ability to review legal documents.

    These courses' tuitions vary based on the granting institution. Check thoroughly before applying.

    After graduation, a law associate degree holder might seek a program that prepares him or her for professional study or academic investigation of the law. Practicing attorneys might enter a private practice, preparing documents for litigators or representing clients directly. They might also work with a large company in an advisory position, reviewing contracts or determining the legality of potential ventures. Graduates might also find work as teachers, legal aids, office managers or administrators, paralegals, politicians or entrepreneurs.

    A lifelong commitment to the law might seem more manageable when divided into smaller tasks, such as completing an associate degree. Search for your program below and contact directly the admission office of the school of your choice by filling in the lead form.
