The Bachelor of Arts in Paralegal Studies curriculum combines a general liberal arts education with an extensive sequence of paralegal courses. The sequence incorporates the 6 basic paralegal courses required of associate’s degree and certificate students. It includes courses in accounting, real estate conveyancing, and professional practice. The choice of 4 paralegal electives allows students to develop an area of specialization.
Anna Maria College encourages its students to undertake a paralegal internship. The bachelor’s degree in paralegal studies prepares students to engage in complex and specialized areas of paralegal practice as well as to assume high levels of job responsibility and administrative duties.
Since the program builds on a broad liberal education foundation, the paralegal graduate not only develops the skills required by the profession but grows in humanly important ways. Our hope is that after completing the program, the student will leave the College as a better human being, having experienced moral growth and a broadening of attitudes and perspectives that will enable him or her to pursue a worthy life both personally and professionally.
