 It's an exciting time to be a paralegal.
The paralegal profession is one of the fastest growing in America, and not only in the number of jobs available to good paralegals, but also in the prestige, the responsibilities, the compensation, the challenges, and the professional satisfaction that paralegals enjoy.
The George Washington University (GW) proudly presents a highly rigorous program for those who wish to enter this prestigious profession with elite academic credentials.
Each course includes a natural integration of instruction in ethics, professionalism, legal writing, and legal technology. This interweaving of such important content into the curriculum ensures that students will internalize the concepts and master the skills.
The GW Master of Professional Studies in Paralegal Studies, one of few similar master's degrees in the country, is further distinguished by its association with one of the top-rated law schools in the country: The GW Law School.
Congratulations on taking this first step toward an exciting future, and thank you for considering The George Washington University.
Sincerely,
Toni Marsh, Esquire
Director, Paralegal Studies Program
College of Professional Studies
The George Washington University
