Professional Licensure Disclosures
Disclosures
Federal regulations require us to provide current and prospective students our determination of whether the licensure program meets the educational requirements, does not meet educational requirements, or if we have not made the determination for graduates to be eligible to apply for licensure, for each state. Below is a list of Hamline programs that have had a determination made for Minnesota licensure.

Paralegal Certificate
The Paralegal Certificate is approved by the American Bar Association Standing Committee on Paralegals. It prepares graduates for initial employment as a paralegal in Minnesota, and any state in which licensure is not required. It does not currently lead to licensure or certification for any profession in any state, and does not qualify graduates to practice law or take the bar exam.
