About This School

National Paralegal College is a private for-profit institution located in Phoenix, Arizona with approximately 388 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $15,524 per year. The graduation rate is 32%.

The numbers here raise serious red flags — a 17% freshman retention rate and 32% graduation rate mean most students who enroll don't finish, which is a critical concern before committing any time or money. On the positive side, the median debt at graduation is relatively modest at $13,994, and the school's narrow paralegal focus can appeal to students who know exactly what career path they want. Worth considering only if you've thoroughly researched job placement outcomes and are confident in your ability to self-direct through an online, specialized program — but compare it carefully against community college paralegal programs, which may offer similar credentials at lower risk.
