The Carnegie Foundation has identified Husson as a Comprehensive Master's Level II institution. The school is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges and has received the academic blessings of numerous professional associations.

Students who choose to enroll in the paralegal studies program at Husson College will develop their skills in research, reporting, and writing in a concentrated program. The program's rigorous training provides students with sound legal content, analytical skills, and communication competencies, making Husson grads attractive in the job market.

Husson offers paralegal students three study options: the Bachelor of Science degree program, the Associate of Science degree program, and the one-year non-degree Certificate Program in Paralegal Studies.

For the Bachelor of Science track, students must successfully complete 120 credit hours of coursework and correlating outside assignments. It takes students 60 credit hours to complete the Associate of Science program and 36 credit hours to earn the one-year Certificate in Paralegal Studies. Advanced-level instruction is provided in business law, criminal law, real estate law, alternative dispute resolution, family law, torts, workers compensation and human resources law, evidence, legal writing, and other current and evolving areas of the law.

In addition to the required professional courses, the bachelor's and associate's degree options include supplementary general-education courses to help students cultivate analytical and communication skills and develop insight into the economic, political, and social framework of the country's legal system.

Paralegal candidates are eligible to minor in psychology, computer information services, behavioral science, natural science, history, biology, accounting, mathematics, English, or hospitality management in conjunction with the B.S. in Paralegal Studies degree.
