Our American Bar Association (ABA)-approved Paralegal Associate in Applied Science-Transfer (AAS-T) Degree program meets the highest educational standards and consistency that is preferred by many legal employers nationwide. The ABA defines a paralegal as a person qualified by education, training, or work experience, employed or retained by an attorney, law office, corporation, governmental agency, or other entity, and who performs specifically delegated substantive legal work for which an attorney is responsible. Paralegals may not provide legal services directly to the public except as permitted by law.

This degree prepares you for immediate employment as a paralegal. It also allows you to begin working on your BA at Edmonds College and then transfer to a four-year college or university as a junior. This degree will transfer to colleges and universities with specific baccalaureate or applied baccalaureate programs or with an articulation agreement with Edmonds College. Graduates from this program will receive an ABA-approved professional degree recognizing their achievement in specialized paralegal training.
