The certificate is designed to meet the ever-changing needs of the paralegal profession and prepares students to enter the legal profession.

Freshman applicants can list test scores on their Common Application, and these test scores will meet the requirement for admission. All freshman admitted with test scores and who ultimately enroll at Webster must submit official test scores prior to the start of their first term. Scores listed on an official high school transcript are considered official.
