The Real Estate Law Specialty Certificate is designed to prepare students to work or for their continued education.

Emphasis is on interpersonal communications; problem-solving; leadership; and critical thinking skills to prepare students for employment, with a special focus on real estate or contract matters. Fullerton College students pursuing an American Bar Association (“ABA”) approved Paralegal Studies Degree and/or Certificate should take note of the requirements found in the catalog before pursuing this certificate. Non-paralegal courses taken toward this certificate will not count toward an ABA-approved paralegal degree or certificate. Students who received their paralegal certificate from an institution other than Fullerton College may transfer in a maximum of six units of elective credit toward this certificate. Prerequisites note: For students who have obtained a certificate of completion/achievement from an ABA-approved Paralegal Studies program at another institution can have prerequisites required for a Fullerton College paralegal (PLEG) course waived. ABA required disclaimer: This certificate is not a substitute for an ABA approved Paralegal Studies Certificate, which must be obtained before, or concurrently with, applying for any specialized certificate. This certificate on its own does not prepare students to work as a paralegal. This certificate requires 15 units. A grade of C or better is required in each course taken.
