Overview

It may also be of interest to existing Notaries who wish to obtain a graduate degree focused upon their area of professional practice. Completion of the degree is a prerequisite for membership in the Society of Notaries Public.

At this time, the Applied Legal Studies program is of limited value to those who do not want, or do not already have, a career as a Notary.

Features

The degree - a Master of Arts (MA) from Simon Fraser University - is granted upon the successful completion of the required number of courses and a final examination. In the case of aspiring Notaries, the degree will prepare students for admission to practice, subject to further requirements prescribed by the Society of Notaries Public of British Columbia, and by provincial legislation.

The number of individuals entering practice in British Columbia is ultimately governed by the Society of Notaries Public. Conferral of the degree is no guarantee of a position in the Society’s post degree professional training programs or in professional practice.
