PARALEGAL
SAMPLE SCHEDULE
The schedule
below shows how the requirements for the A.A.S. Paralegal degree may be
met in four semesters. This schedule is an example of one of many possible
different schedules. It is included here only as an illustration of the
type of schedule that might be followed by a full-time student. Many students
attending Finger Lakes Community College who have work and/or family obligations
choose a different sequence of courses and take more than four semesters
to fulfill the requirements for the A.A.S. Paralegal degree. Similarly,
students who find they need to take some additional course work to prepare
them to do well in the types of courses included in the A.A.S. Paralegal
degree program may plan a schedule that takes more than four semesters to
complete the degree. All students should consult their advisor when they
plan their schedule.
