Many of the courses are taught by practicing attorneys in the Lehigh Valley ensuring exposure to current legal practices and issues. All of the legal specialty classes include numerous assignments and opportunities for "hands-on" practical work in various areas of the law. A required Internship course places each student in a law firm, corporate legal office, or governmental law office working directly for an attorney or paralegal in the provision of legal services.

Articulation agreements with two colleges; Peirce College , Philadelphia, PA and Pennsylvania College of Technology, Williamsport, PA afford NCC paralegal graduates the opportunity to continue their studies and earn a bachelor's degree in paralegal studies. NCC's Career Services Office also provides assistance in job searching and placement.
