Fees

Cost of Attendance

The Paralegal Studies Programs are affordable. Paralegal Studies students are charged a per credit rate up to 11.5 credits a semester. In addition to the per credit cost for the courses they select, students pay minimal fees per semester which usually total less than $100. This per credit pricing structure means that Paralegal Studies students can progress at nearly a full time pace for a fraction of the cost of full time tuition. Currently, the Paralegal Studies Certificate, including books and fees, will cost a student under $10,000. For the current per credit rate, please visit the Office of the Bursar Website and view "Part-time Per Credit Hour". Paralegal Studies rate is listed under "University Studies".
