Alumni Profile
After earning a bachelor’s degree from West Chester University, Monastra decided to narrow his career options and enter the legal field. He discovered the College’s paralegal post-baccalaureate certificate program and liked its accreditation by the American Bar Association and its affordability. “What I enjoyed most about DCCC were the courses and staff. All ten courses in the program helped prepare me for a successful career as a paralegal. Plus, being part of the evening program, I felt that all of my instructors understood the demands of our life outside the program.”
