Online Degree School

Archive for the ‘Online Paralegal Degree’ Category

is there any schools accredited and apa authorized for paralegal associates degree online? I checked on the apa site and did not find anything. I thought maybe the site was not updated with current schools

I’m not sure but please note that I’d asked my friend’s mom who worked in human resources at a law firm about paralegal, and she said that they generally need a bachelor’s degree in ‘something’ (and most likely training from aba approved program) to possibly gain employment. I’d spoken with a lawyer many years ago, and he said that he can merely hire a law student as an intern for less money and not have to provide job benefits, just fyi

If still wanting training, please forgo those private $$ schools and look into the county vo-tech school or community college (perhaps non-credit course) as long as it’s accredited.

Please be wary of those online, for-profit schools such as penn foster, university of phoenix, capella, kaplan and others: http://www.capellauniversitysucks.us

There are a number of institutions offering on line courses and basic degree is not required. Please visit

I am a single mother of twin boys they are about to be four, so its a little hard on time and money. I really have no way to put them into a daycare while I go to school. So I was thinking about an online degree. But I just noticed someone that said "don’t get an online degree". Why? Will people not be as likely to hire you? I really need information. Thank you to any one that can offer help.

Online STUDY is a good thing – it will take years to get your degree (similar time to attending college). This is good.

But if you are talking about a quick and easy fix "get your degree in 2 weeks with free steak knives thrown in" on the internet don’t waste a cent on it!! It will be worth less than nothing!

Anyone have info on this online school?

The great thing is that FMU is also a campus school, so no one will ever know if you studied online, on campus, or hybrid. FMU is also accredited by the Council on Higher Education.

One of the first things to do when looking at online degree programs is check the accreditation by doing a triple check. First, they tell you they are accredited and by whom, then you go to that accrediting body’s website (not through the link provided by the school), and thirdly you would visit the department of education to see what they have to say. I would strongly recommend you stay within the 6 major accrediting bodies in the US (see CHEA link below).

I also suggest reviewing your goals, personal and professional. Make sure that the school that you are going to offers the programs that match your goals. Do not settle. There are many programs that are similar, but you have to make the ultimate decision. Do not let be based on finances and length of program, but the fact that when you are finished or near finished you will be able to assume your proper place in the career field sought.

Even though FMU shows to be a good school, there are many other traditional universities offering degrees that can be earned through online methods. Good luck on your search!

It depends on which country. Under English Law, there is no legal requirement to study Law in order to call yourself a Solicitor. In my opinion, there is no point because, in UK, there is no such thing as this degree. There is no Uni that offers this course. However, there are several UK Unis where you can study Law,

Associates Degree in Paralegal Studies at Colorado Tech online. The whole college course is 16 months, and it will cost around $21000. Seems like a nice virtual campus, setup, and student support, but I don’t know what the norm is with online colleges. (its not only an internet entity. There are also ground campuses.)

That is completely ridiculous. My friend is attending class on campus and it is only costing her 4000 dollars at the community college for 2 full years of schooling!

Do you know what a paralegal is? If not, don’t feel bad. In this video, people on the street are asked about paralegal studies. A lot of confused looks ensue.
