“Enrolling in the Paralegal program at Durham College has been one of my best
decisions so far. Having the support and guidance of the teachers, be it with
assignments, tests, or mock trials, it’s clear to see that the faculty work very hard
to inspire students to succeed.
My goal once I graduate is to work in small claims court and take on cases related to
resident and landlord tenancy as well as traffic ticketing cases.”
Samiksha Negi from India

“The General Arts and Science program has given me the confidence

program that caters to all – those who are uncertain and those who
are certain of what they want to do. I would highly recommend it
because it not only opens up many opportunities, it also gives you the
foundation for a great career.”
