What does it mean that the MCC Paralegal Program is approved by the American Bar Association?
The MCC Paralegal Program has been continuously approved by the American Bar Association since 1984. This means that the program meets stringent guidelines established by the ABA. This includes periodic reporting and site visits that examine the curriculum, library collection, faculty, student services, Advisory Committee, and information obtained from student, employer and graduate surveys. Our current ABA approval extends to February 2013. Because the paralegal profession is largely unregulated, employers look for other indications of qualifications for entry into the field. Graduation from an ABA-approved Paralegal Program is an important factor in securing paralegal employment.
