DEGREES IN LEGAL STUDIES

ONLINE ACCELERATED PROGRAMS

In the School of Law at the Holy State University, you can receive a degree in legal studies. A law degree is an academic degree conferred for studies in legal disciplines. Some people are receiving degree in legal studies as an initial step preparing them for the legal career; however, for many people it can be just a valuable addition for any other profession.

Our main goal is not to prepare people for the practice of law, but to prepare people that are well studied in law disciplines and would apply received knowledge in the practice of different professions.

Each country has different requirements related to the practice of law and we have no objectives to prepare law specialists that are able to practice law in any country. Our goal is only to prepare people that have good knowledge of law.

Law degree can be used in almost all professions. Investment banker, economist, business administrator, corporate executive, manager, medical doctor, journalist, social worker and almost any other professional with law degree would be always considered much more desirable and more valuable employee, comparing to any other representative of the same profession that has no law degree.

Most aspects of any profession are based on the principles of legality that are applicable to the local and national standards. Any employee with a law degree has a better ability to solve many work related matters in full compliance with applicable laws and in such way, can reduce level of liability that any company or organization faces every day. This employee can apply proper legal standards and lawful principles for resolving conflicts and can deliver better customers' satisfaction in public affairs.
