How to become a paralegal?

Answer:

Programs range from 2-year courses of study where students earn approximately 60-70 credits and an Associate's Degree to 4-year degrees where paralegal education is the major course of study. A few institutions even offer graduate/master's degree programs in this area of work, combining legal administration with paralegal studies. Entrance requirements for these programs are much the same as for any other higher education course of study.
