Yavapai College’s online Paralegal Studies program has been ranked as Arizona’s most affordable online paralegal degree program and the 2nd most affordable program in the U.S. by the Online Paralegal Degree Center, an organization that helps students locate online paralegal degrees and certification options.
The Online Paralegal Degree Center examined 117 schools based on two- and four-year online degree offerings in legal assistant and paralegal studies. The Center assessed each program’s cost and the percentage of grant or scholarship aid each school offered to come up with an official ranking.
“Yavapai’s online Associate of Applied Science in Paralegal Studies program is designed to prepare students for work as paralegals in various legal fields,” notes Michael Davis, Director of YC’s Paralegal and Administration of Justice programs. “The flexibility of online classes paired with the program’s affordability makes it a great route for students interested in law.” The program prepares students for employment upon graduation, and also prepares them to transfer to four-year degree-granting institutions.
“At $1,896 in undergraduate tuition and fees, the Yavapai’s program is extremely affordable,” Davis says. Making Yavapai College offerings even more attractive are the many forms of financial aid available to students. Currently, 36 percent of YC students receive grants or scholarships.
All told, Yavapai College offers 13 online degrees and 22 online certificate programs at some of the lowest tuition costs in the country.
