PARALEGAL STUDIES

The program is also the basis for the first two years of a baccalaureate program in Paralegal studies through Chattanooga State's 2+2 articulation agreement with the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (see the advising center for details). This program is supported by a complete legal library at Chattanooga State East Campus.
