Blinn’s Paralegal and Legal Studies Program prepares students for a wide range of legal careers, and graduates have gone on to pursue successful careers as paralegals, legal assistants, and legal support staff in a variety of settings, including law firms, corporate legal departments, and government agencies. Many also have pursued law school or pursued or degrees in related fields.

With traditional classroom and online tracks available, Blinn students can earn their Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree or a Legal Office Certificate. Courses are taught by practicing lawyers and judges whose classes are structured to promote quality student-faculty interaction. Students completing the AAS degree are eligible to sit for the National Association of Legal Assistants (NALA) certification exam.

Outside the classroom, students benefit from hands-on learning and networking opportunities through events such as the annual visit from the Texas 10th Court of Appeals and the Brazos Valley Paralegal Forum.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, legal assistants earn a median salary of $61,010 per year.
