Students are required to take at least 18.0 quarter credit hours of legal specialty courses through traditional classroom (on-campus) instruction.

To request transfer of credit, students must request that original transcripts be submitted by the source college or university directly to the MCC Records Office.  The Records Office staff will then refer any legal specialty courses to the Academic Dean and Director of the Paralegal Program for determination of acceptability for transfer. No more than 9.0 quarter credit hours of legal specialty credit may be by transfer.

The Paralegal option is approved by the American Bar Association.
