ABA Approved Nurse Paralegal Certificate Program
34 Credit Hours

Courses include:

• Introduction to Paralegal Studies
• Civil Procedure
• Health Care Law
• Medical Insurance Law
• Legal Issues of Death, Dying and Organ Transplantation

Students entering the nurse paralegal certificate program must hold either a bachelor’s degree or an associate degree in nursing from a regionally accredited college or university whose program included at least 18 hours of general education courses. This program prepares you to work for insurance companies, law firms handling malpractice and personal injury cases, and as a consultant to law firms on such cases.

Please note that an official transcript from the institution from which you received your nursing degree must be on file with the AACC Registrar before a Paralegal Studies Certificate may be awarded to you. If you obtained your nursing degree from an institution outside the United States, contact the registrar's office for information on submitting your transcript.
