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?
