Legal Administration Pathway
AAS to MBA 3+1+1

The HCC Legal Administration Pathway

The Legal Administration Pathway provides a full complement of legal courses designed to offer the student a well-rounded program of study.

Students earn their Associate of Applied Science degree in Paralegal Management Technology from HCC and complete many of their core courses toward a bachelor's degree.

Students then transfer to The W's College of Business & Professional Studies. The Bachelor of Business Administration – Legal Administration Concentration can be completed entirely online in one year, without having to leave your current job. After completing the bachelor's degree, students are encouraged to apply to The W's MBA program, completed online in one year.

This pathway can be completed all online.
