Online Paralegal Certificate Programs

Article Category: Legal

Author Name: Dave Mulcahy

The cost of becoming a paralegal can add up. So, if you've decided to pursue a paralegal certification program, you may be interested in looking for some less-expensive alternative methods to the traditional certification and degree programs. Fortunately, online programs are becoming a popular alternative to traditional classroom learning. Online paralegal certificate programs are no exception as they give students the freedom to continue working their job, be home with their children, save money and still complete a program that will help move them into a highly prestigious and well-paid legal career.

For adults that are working full-time jobs, raising children and/or struggling financially, the online option is very appealing. Most online paralegal certification programs can be completed within one year and offer students the ability to skip general education courses that are usually required by traditional colleges and universities, while still teaching you the essential skills and knowledge needed to enter the legal field.

Online paralegal courses offer classes to help students build a foundation for understanding the law, the legal field and their basic duties as a paralegal. Typical courses in the program might include:

- contract law
- litigation
- real estate law
- legal research
- criminal law

These courses will provide the knowledge needed to work in the legal field and successfully fulfill your role at a law firm or within a businesses legal department.

Online paralegal certificate programs also offer the opportunity to take classes outside of the paralegal program in order to help students get a more rounded, and targeted, education. Many students can make themselves more marketable for the legal field they plan to work in by taking supplemental courses that will help them fully understand their legal field. For example, a paralegal that works with businesses drafting contracts and legal agreements may be a better paralegal in their field if they have taken a business administration class because they will more fully understand the needs of their clients. Likewise, a student that would like to work for a firm that focuses on criminal law may want to consider taking some psychology and criminology courses. A more well-rounded knowledge of a specific field can make you a more marketable and better paralegal in that field.

Are online paralegal certificate programs expensive?

Enrolling in an online paralegal program is not as expensive as traditional education programs because there generally are less operating costs for online providers than traditional colleges and universities. Since it is only necessary to have an associate's (two-year) degree to be qualified to become a paralegal, online programs offer added flexibility to take classes during the summer, as well, without having to travel. This allows many students to complete their degree in less than two-years and it is less expensive than attending a traditional school or pursuing a bachelors degree.

Most programs also offer tuition assistance and financial aid to help complete the program at a lower cost. Check with each schools student finance departments before making a decision on which online program to attend as some programs may offer larger scholarships, payment plans or greater financial assistance than others. Online programs are becoming more and more reputable but be sure the programs you are deciding between are from an accredited university. We highly recommend you think thoroughly about your online options. Some programs offer more flexibility, some offer a more reputable curriculum, and some are more or less expensive than others.
