PARALEGAL SCHOOLS
KCPA does not endorse any one paralegal program. Selecting a program is a personal choice but considering the following aspects may help you arrive at your decision:
- Who are the instructors? Many programs have instructors that are practicing attorneys.
- What is the typical class size?
- Is this a degree or certificate program?
- Are my paralegal courses transferable to other universities?
- Is the program approved by the American Bar Association?
- How many credit hours are required to complete?
- What is the total cost?
- Does the school offer financial aid?
- What are the statistics of the alumni?
