Most ABA approved paralegal programs are only at brick-and-mortal colleges.  Pierce College has one that you can do on-line, but 3 (or so) classes are required to be taken in a class room.   

You might want to go to Legal Assistant Today (www.legalassistanttoday.com).  Go under Education...and find the school directory.  They keep a list of traditional and on-line paralegal programs/schools there.  Also lots of other good info for legal assistants on their website.   On NALS...the association for legal ...

I took my proctor test with Penn Foster this week.  They approved a school teacher (bachelor's degree) to be my proctor.     

Angel33, I have posted your questions to a member board I'm on.  When I get the response back from TN paralegals/legal assistants, I'll post it here for you and others to see.  

Angel33, be sure and go to NALA's website and check out the clock hours needed to sit for their test.  They have several options which include whether you have a Bachelors, Associates, certificate, etc.  I believe Penn Foster's has the amount of clock hours needed to be able to sit for that test.  Also, check out NALS' ...

Maybe I am taking the advice the wrong way but it almost sounds like because PFC is not ABA recognized I will have a hard time..  Angel33, I don't know anything about PFC's paralegal program personally.  That being said, in a lot of states going to an ABA-approved program could be a plus at some firms, but I believe any type of ...

The ABA does not "certify" paralegals.  Some firms may prefer that their legal assistants, etc. graduate from an ABA-approved paralegal course, but I can say that a lot of my peers working as paralegals/legal assistants (in Texas) etc did not go to ABA schools.  Some have their Bachelors or Associates ...

I just wanted to update you all with my transcript evaluation from TESC for an Associates in Arts.  I got the evaluation today.  I need 5 semester hours to complete an associates.  2 credits in the Natural Sciences; and 3 credits in General Ed Electives (humanities, social sciences, natural sciences or math).  I would like ...

 Thank you all for some good advice.  I think I am going to look at getting my credits evaluated at one of the Big Three schools.  I am also going to speak to someone at AJU to ask some questions.  Because I am in Texas, I shied away from the NA or DETC schools because of the Texas' board's view that those degrees were ...

I want to try and get a degree (first an Associates).  I have previous credits that were earned almost 30 years ago.  I have looked at the Big Three colleges.  Can someone take a look at the credits I have and point me in a right direction?  At 50 years old, I don't want to go into debt doing this.  I got sick while in ...

Sorry, forgot to say which school I wondered what the tuition was?  Everest.   Nana in Texas

Thanks for posting this.  I was going to post a new message to see if anything new had happened with regard to the Texas' position and their list of diploma mills.   Nana in Texas  

So does anyone know what the actual tuition (cost) is for the paralegal program (associate or BS)?  I didn't find it anywhere. 

Go to the State Board for Educator Certification site:  www.sbec.state.tx.us/SBECOonline/  or you can find a link to it at the Texas Education Agency's website...google for it's site because I don't know if offhand.  Look for "Assessment/Testing" caption on the left side of the page.  That leads to a page ...
