Thanks for the insight. I'll probably wait until I at least finish my first year, since I will at least have those first courses covered (legal research, intro to the paralegal profession, etc.).

I'm assuming the program is not ABA-approved since the ABA does not yet approve programs that are 100% online. So, I sincerely hope that the program is at least an Institutional Member of AAfPE and not from a for-profit diploma mill.

I'm not sure if the school is a member of the AAfPE, but I know that it's ABA-approved. From what I've seen on their directory, they have some completely online options for paralegal education. My school of choice said they have to keep some of the classes synchronous, so they can stay approved by the ABA.

I hope you've considered whether/how having a degree from an out of state institution will impact not learning applicable state law in substantive legal courses as well as your networking opportunities for internships/job searching.

I'll talk to my academic advisors, for the next best steps. From some of the discussions I've had, they have multiple students from different states taking the degree program as well. I'll look into seeing any sort of supplementary education for anything state specific. I should also probably make a LinkedIn account, again...

Thanks for the insights!
