Paralegal411.org Releases Ranking of Top Online Paralegal Bachelor’s Programs
SEATTLE (PRWEB) September 25, 2018 -- Paralegal411.org, a popular website dedicated to providing information about paralegal degrees, careers, certifications, and job opportunities, has released its ranking of the top online and hybrid-online bachelor’s degrees for paralegals.

Only schools with regional accreditation and not-for-profit status that have paralegal programs with at least part of the curriculum available online were considered eligible for the ranking. To find the top programs, Paralegal411.org researched schools offering online paralegal degrees through publicly available sources, including the National Center for Education Statistics, and compiled and modeled the data manually.
Paralegal programs were evaluated based on such factors as the ability of students to graduate in six years or less, the average cost per online credit hour for in-state and out-of-state students, and the percentage of the overall student body attending only online courses. Other factors include faculty tenure and rankings by US News and World Report in the regional, national, and online bachelor’s program categories.
According to Rob Voce, founder of Paralegal411.org, “Industry projections indicate that demand for paralegals and legal assistants over the next eight years will increase faster than the average for all industries. At the same time, we’re seeing trends signalling that employers are seeking paralegals with four-year degrees. Our ranking is designed to help prospective paralegals find programs that will increase their competitiveness in the job market, while recognizing programs that provide quality and value.”
Overall, 30 online paralegal degree programs satisfied the prerequisites and ranked on this year’s list. As well as providing data for the ranking factors of included programs, the 2018 Top Online Paralegal Bachelor’s Programs list includes detailed information on the included schools’ tuition and net price; admissions statistics and requirements; and data on faculty tenure.
