Paralegal/Legal Assistant, A.A.S.Director: Christine Taylor ~ GC 406 ~ (435) 865-8563 The Paralegal Studies Program at Southern Utah University is designed to provide a two-year curriculum in support of students who wish to pursue a career as a paralegal or legal assistant within a legal environment such as a law firm or the legal office of a governmental entity. In addition, the skills and knowledge obtained through the program will be useful in other fields as business, real estate, and public administration.
