MORROW — On Friday, Jan. 19, Clayton State University signed articulation agreements with Chattahoochee Technical College and Athens Technical College.
Both agreements were the fifth time the technical schools have signed articulation agreements with Clayton State and both are for legal and paralegal studies.
Clayton State’s Legal Studies Program Coordinator Antoinette France-Harris said the agreements are “designed to ease the transition and minimize loss of credit and course duplication for transferring students who have received their A.A.S. in paralegal studies and are now seeking their B.S. in legal studies at Clayton State.”
“Most students who pursue their B.S. in legal studies are either interested in becoming paralegals or attending law school after graduation,” she said. “The Legal Studies Program is particularly attractive because all program options can be completed fully online.”
France-Harris described the university’s ABA-approved B.S. in Legal Studies program as one of “high quality,” while further highlighting both its affordability and its availability as the only public option in the state.
“While this is not the first time Clayton State has established such agreements with our friends in the technical school system, we are still excited at the prospect that our partnerships will further enhance the expansive education of the next generation of Georgians,” said Georj L. Lewis, president of Clayton State University.
