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.
