Question About Paralegal Certificate

[ggabriele26]

So I am a bit of an odd case in the field of credits. A little scattered and trying to consolidate the pieces because it's time to make a move haha. I work in insurance as a risk analyst, so I had already completed some of The Institues courses. I had the Ethics 312 which I have seen in the forum for 2 credits, something called the INS 21 for 3 more and began the CPCU designation, so I have an exam there for 3 credits. I currently have 12 credits from a traditional school as well; Eng. I, Intro to Psych., Intro to Communications, and a Business Leadership 101 type class (Literally was called Leadership Essentials, I believe.)

Then in scouring the forum I saw the ALEKS courses, so just this month I completed the Int. and College Algebra, Intro to Stats, and Pre-Calc courses and have them on my ACE Transcript already for 12 more.

I have a while to go with only around 32 total credits and like I mentioned I plan on completing this by the end of 2017, so that is why the forums credit/course plans and everyone's insights have been so helpful.

COSC has a partnership with The Institutes too. INS 21 is worth 3 more UL credits and most of the CPCU credits are upper level.

You can use all twelve of the ALEKS credits at COSC.

If you count the 30 paralegal credits you are halfway there!

COSC has become a huge consideration over the last month. I already emailed inquiring about the cert and Institutes credits, etc.

I appreciate the input and assistance!
