An Associate Degree in Paralegal Studies from a DETC accredited school... Is DETC accreditation worthless? |
An attorney I work for knew I was searching for an online/correspondence course in paralegal studies. I'm already a paralegal and only want to further my education. The attorney highly praised The Paralegal Institute, Inc. out of Phoenix, AZ. I see that this school is accredited by DETC (Distance Education and Training Council). ( http://www.theparalegalinstitu... ). I checked out the school and their accreditor is legit --- recognized by the US Department of Education and Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA). Sadly, however, I'm reading mixed reviews about DETC accreditation. Many websites praise it, while others say it's worthless. I don't know what to think cuz everythings 50/50! I know that regional accreditation would be better, however, my only question is: Are degrees accredited by DETC worthless? TIA for your input. P.S.: I know my employer approves of it.... but if I leave here, I want to make sure the degree isn't worthless. If I were looking a a resume, I'd consider all onlne schools worthless. Just because a school is recognzed by the CHEA doesn't mean it's good. Call some law offices in your area and see what schools they recommend. |
