A Simple Web Summation Of » Employment Law University Courses
Is it better to attend Keiser University or Everest University for the Bachelors of Paralegal Studies?
I'm looking at both of their program sheets and EU seems better to me these are the courses they are offering:
Elder Law, Employment Law, Law & Medicine, International Law, Administrative Law, Advanced Tort Law, Criminal Justice Ethics & Liability,Alternative Dispute Resolution, and Contemporary Issues & Law.
KU offers:
Business Organizations, Income Tax Law, Legal Interviewing & Investigation, Alternative Dispute Resolution, and
Constitutional Law.
Keiser is accredited by SACS and Everest is accredited by ACICS. Neither is approved by the ABA, which should I choose? Thanks.
Look through the job ads for paralegals in your region. See if employers in your region want ABA approved schools. If so, then only go to an ABA approved school. If not, then you have more flexibility.
Also check the websites for law firms in your region. See if they list their paralegals. If so, then click on them and see where they went to school. See if you notice any trends re: names of schools and/or ABA approval.
In some regions of the US, legal employers strongly prefer, or will only hire from ABA approved schools. But in other regions, a non-approved school can be okay.
Make sure that any school you consider for a bachelors degree is regionally accredited. This is important, as some employers won't hire you if the school isn't regionally accredited. I'm also a bit wary of for-profit schools. Some employers won't hire from for-profit schools. Just be aware of that.
