]]> American National University’s Paralegal certificate program – approved by the American Bar Association (ABA) – is designed exclusively for students and professionals who have previously earned an associate’s or bachelor’s degree:

  • recent college graduates seeking a legal career
  • experienced professionals seeking a career change to the legal industry

Paralegals, whether they are employed on a full, part-time, or contracted basis, are increasingly in demand by corporate, government agencies, law firms, and other organizations because of the specific legal skills and knowledge they possess, making them indispensable to attorneys and the legal system. Please remember that paralegals may not provide legal services directly to the public, except as permitted by law.

We offer one of the first DEAC Accredited, online paralegal certificate programs that is approved by the American Bar Association (ABA)!

The ABA-approved paralegal certificate program’s content was developed with careful consideration toward satisfying the American Bar Association’s recommendations for paralegals’ continuing education, as well as their preparation for the national paralegal certification exam. Students must take at least nine semester credits or the equivalent of legal specialty courses through synchronous instruction. Students will have the opportunity to earn their Lexis+® Paralegal Certificate as part of the PLG207 Legal Research and Writing course.
