Being able to solve problems and try to figure out what exactly happened and try to help whoever is the victim is amazing. In a smaller classroom setting you have more time with your teacher. A lot of times you’re just a name on a paper in a bigger class but in Keiser’s smaller classes format, it’s a little more personable, and one class at a time is very helpful.

Legal Studies Programs Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get a paralegal degree online at Keiser University?

Yes. Both our Paralegal Studies AA and Legal Studies BA programs offer online program options, giving online students the flexibility to complete coursework at their own pace. The online paralegal program provides the same rigorous curriculum as classroom-based instruction. You can also choose hybrid formats or traditional on-campus classes depending on your schedule and learning preferences.

What's the difference between the Paralegal Studies AA and the Legal Studies BA?

Our Paralegal Studies program (Associate of Arts) provides foundational training in essential skills for entry-level paralegal positions. Students typically complete this program in approximately two years and cover core courses including legal research, criminal law, contract law, and civil procedure.

The Legal Studies BA offers deeper exploration of substantive law, advanced legal writing, and specialized electives. This bachelor’s degree prepares graduates for supervisory roles in law offices or provides preparation for law school. Students can complete this program in approximately four years, or faster with transfer credits. Each course builds upon previous knowledge to help students successfully complete their education.

What careers can I pursue with a degree in legal studies?

Graduates of our paralegal program and bachelor’s degree programs pursue careers as paralegal professionals, legal assistants, contract administrators, compliance specialists, court clerks, and law office managers. Career options expand with experience and additional education. Many graduates work in law firms, government agencies, corporate legal departments, or real estate offices where they prepare legal documents and support practicing attorneys.

Do I need to become certified to work as a paralegal?

Certification requirements vary by state and employer. Florida does not mandate certification. Our paralegal certificate program provides the education and skills employers seek, preparing you for voluntary certification exams if you choose to pursue them. Many law firms hire graduates immediately after completion of their degree program.

Can I transfer credits from another institution?

Yes, Keiser University accepts transfer credits for undergraduate and graduate-level programs. Our admissions team will work with you to review your transcripts and determine your transfer eligibility. Credits transfer based on several factors including accreditation and course equivalency. Learn more about credit transfer requirements and eligibility requirements.

Is financial aid available for online students?

Absolutely. Online students pursuing an online legal degree can access the same financial aid resources as campus-based students, including grants, scholarships, and tuition assistance programs. Learn more about Keiser University’s Financial Services.

Are these programs accredited?

Keiser University holds institutional accreditation from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) to award associate, bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees. Learn more about Keiser University accreditation. Although the legal programs do not require programmatic accreditation, the curriculum aligns with industry standards and prepares students for successful careers in the legal profession.

What courses will I take in the Paralegal Studies program?

Core courses in our paralegal studies program include Legal Research and Writing, Criminal Law, Contracts, Civil Litigation, Torts Law, Family Law (Domestic Relations), Wills, Trusts and Estates, and Real Property. You’ll develop skills in legal analysis, legal writing, and legal research while studying the American legal system and litigation process. Each course uses the recent edition of required textbooks to ensure current content. General education requirements ensure you gain critical thinking abilities and strong communication skills valued by employers. Students complete coursework that trains them to prepare legal documents and support law office operations.

How long does it take to complete a legal studies degree?

The Paralegal Studies AA requires two years to successfully complete. The Legal Studies BA is approximately 40 months or four years, though students with transfer credits may finish sooner.

The time to degree completion is an estimate, not intended as a guarantee, and can vary based on many case-by-case factors.

How much does it cost to earn a legal studies degree?

The cost per credit hour at Keiser University is the same for both online and on-campus courses. Total program costs vary based on the number of credit hours required and applicable educational fees. Keiser University offers financial aid, military and veteran benefits, scholarships, and employer tuition reimbursement for students who qualify. Use the Tuition Calculator to estimate your costs, or speak with an admissions advisor who can walk you through tuition, fees, and available financial assistance options.

What career support does Keiser University offer graduates?

Keiser University is committed to helping students in legal studies and all degree programs build the skills and confidence needed to pursue their professional goals. Through the Department of Student Services, students have access to career advisement, résumé writing assistance, interview preparation coaching, professional development workshops, and an online career center where job opportunities are posted exclusively for KU students and alumni. As you approach graduation, you will work closely with Student Services to prepare for your job search in your chosen field. While Keiser University provides employment placement assistance, it cannot promise or guarantee employment.

Can working professionals complete the program?

Absolutely. Our self-paced program options, evening classes, and online learning formats accommodate busy schedules. Whether you work full-time at law firms or in another field, you can complete coursework at your own time and maintain your current employment. Many of our students work as legal secretaries or in related positions while earning their paralegal certificate to advance their careers. The online paralegal certificate program allows maximum flexibility for working professionals. Students access course materials, submit assignments, and participate in classroom discussions on schedules that fit their lives.

Do you offer information sessions for interested students?

Yes. We host open houses with informative sessions both online and on-campus where prospective students can learn about program requirements, career outcomes, and financial aid options. These information session events provide opportunities to meet faculty, ask questions about the curriculum and individual course content, and get a feel for our supportive learning community. Interested students can contact an admissions counselor to learn about the next open house and access additional resources to help them make informed enrollment decisions.
