Thinking about a career in the legal field?

Join us on June 17 for an information session about our Paralegal Certificate Program and discover how earning a certificate can help you stand out to employers.

Stephanie P., who completed the self-paced program in November 2025, shared her experience:
"Thank you so much. This is a career switch for me after owning my own business for 23 years. I did the program while I was still living in California, [prior to moving to Texas]. I just landed my first law firm job as a case manager. I was the only one who applied to the job that had a paralegal certificate, which made me stand out among the rest. The firm is growing and there is lots of opportunity for me to grow with it. The benefits are amazing and I'm excited to get started. Thank you again and I will recommend this program to anybody who asks."

Register for the June 17 information session and get your questions answered by program experts.
