Paralegal

[humboldtjake]

I recommend Penn Foster. Once you already have a BA, it's really not that important where you get your paralegal certificate from. As always, getting your paralegal certificate from a prestigious or well-known school looks better, but the Big 3 don't fall into that category. The salary potential for lawyers is high, but the field is oversaturated. The Big 3 aren't going to be your cheapest options either unless you can find paralegal courses at a cheaper school to transfer. Charter Oak offers a certificate program and a bachelor's concentration in paralegal studies. They also charge $339 per credit hour. Excelsior offers a non-credit, paralegal program for $1995.

Found a cheaper and better one:

Paralegal Class Certificate | Paralegal Training University | Legal Nurse Consultant | The Center For Legal Studies

You take it thru extension programs of major universities. Like I can get one from University of California, Santa Cruz or University of the Pacific. I can even take it from my alma mater, Humboldt State. Plus, since these are California schools, then I qualify to become a LDA in the State of CA.
