Texas State University's Master of Arts (M.A.) in Legal Studies stands as a pioneering program in Texas and remains among the select few nationwide, equipping graduate students with comprehensive knowledge of the U.S. legal framework, theoretical foundations, analytical methods, and research and writing skills. This innovative legal studies initiative aims to deliver advanced legal education combined with hands-on paralegal instruction in cutting-edge facilities. A distinguished faculty and committed staff drive the program's success by fostering individual student achievement.
The ABA-accredited M.A. in Legal Studies enhances professional opportunities in law-related sectors while addressing the changing demands of legal, corporate, and governmental organizations. Students can pursue this degree alongside the ABA-approved Paralegal Studies Certificate program. Note that neither program authorizes graduates to practice law, as paralegals and legal assistants must always operate under a licensed attorney's supervision.
