If you’re considering pursuing a career as a paralegal, obtaining a formal education and earning your associate degree is a smart move. Employers often prefer candidates who can demonstrate their commitment to earning their associate degrees over candidates without degrees. Generations College is proud to offer the paralegal associate degree program that Chicago legal professionals and employers respect and trust. 

Earning your Associate of Science degree in Paralegal Studies from Generations College shows prospective employers that you have learned the skills you need to hit the ground running and be a successful member of their legal team. While some paralegal certificate programs may be enticing because they allow you to obtain a certificate faster than earning your degree, certificate programs do not mean you are a certified paralegal. Graduating from an accredited and approved community college paralegal studies program, like Generations College's Paralegal Studies degree program, is the first step to becoming certified and can give you a more solid foundation on which to build your career.
