Per program approval by the American Bar Association Standing Committee on Paralegals, students are required to take at least nine credits of legal specialty courses through in person or synchronous instruction. Satisfaction of this requirement is built into the course offering plan. A maximum of nine (9) credit hours of Legal Specialty coursework taken within the past five (5) years may be transferred into the program from another ABA-approved paralegal education program upon approval by the Legal Studies Program Coordinator. Credit for which transfer is sought must be substantially similar to an existing UAA Legal Studies course.
