Program Overview

The Paralegal Studies diploma program produces skilled, analytical, and knowledgeable legal professionals, capable of carrying out certain legal tasks in a more independent fashion under the supervision of a lawyer. Students will focus on core legal subject areas such as real estate transactions and corporate procedures but will have greater flexibility to customize their program through their choices of options and electives.

Solid writing and communication skills are critical for work in the legal environment and this program includes an English course that emphasizes writing skills, summarizing and synthesizing written material, as well as grammar and sentence structure.

Graduates of this program are able to use the credit earned in these courses toward any major in the Bachelor of Commerce degree.
