Emphasis is placed on the development of language skills, the spellings and meanings of legal terminology, and the preparation of legal proceedings and cases. Extensive instruction in computer-based word processing programs and applications along with an introduction to other computerized office functions prepares students to obtain a position in a legal office. Students may obtain an Associate of Arts degree in Computer Applications and Office Technologies by completing the courses shown below AND by satisfying all the requirements shown in the college catalog under Associate Degree Requirements. Students must complete one of the following general education plans for this major: LAPC GE Plan, CSU GE Breadth Certification Plan, or IGETC. TRANSFER STUDENTS Completing the Associate Degree does not necessarily meet the university-admission requirements for transfer. An Associate Degree is not a requirement for transfer to either the CSU or UC campuses. Private and out-of-state colleges and universities have unique transfer requirements. However, if you would like to transfer to a university and earn an associate degree, early educational planning can make this goal achievable. You should meet with a counselor early in your studies to develop an Educational Plan that fulfills both transfer requirements and associate degree requirements. See page 286 of this catalog for more information on transfer requirements and resources.
