Concordia University Wisconsin
01/03/2022
In addition to serving law firms and corporate legal departments in traditional paralegal roles, paralegals and professionals with a paralegal education commonly use their skills in various legal and law-related careers, including criminal justice, compliance, corporate governance, human resources, real estate, health care, public policy, public interest services, and more. The Paralegal Studies Certificate from Concordia enhances a student's undergraduate degree by blending traditional and experiential learning philosophies with a simulation-focused approach to developing the learner's legal acumen, analytical and critical thinking aptitudes, research and writing competencies, and strategic problem-solving skills.
