The college is centrally located in Phoenix, Arizona and is accredited by the Distance Education Accrediting Commission. HistoryNational Paralegal College was founded in 2002 by Director Mark Geller, Esq., founder of Legal Data Systems, Inc. and school President Avi Katz. Its first class was delivered on June 2, 2003. The school introduced a synchronous learning format to online schooling by running a real time audio/visual online platform to deliver instruction. Initially employing only four staff members and serving fewer than ten students at the time of its initial class in 2003, as of January 2014 NPC employs a large faculty and staff and serves more than 1,200 students. AcademicsNPC offers a Paralegal certificate and Associates degree in paralegal studies and a Bachelor's degree in legal studies or business administration.[1] All students must satisfy the four core courses, which are Torts & Personal Injury, Contracts, Professional Responsibility & Legal Ethics and Legal Research, Writing & Civil Litigation. A paralegal certificate requires 24 credits, all of which must be earned by taking paralegal courses. An associate degree requires 60 credits, of which at least 36 credits must be earned through paralegal courses. A Bachelor's Degree required 120 credits, of which at least 45 credits must be earned through paralegal courses. Both degrees require that at least 25% of the credits be earned through "general education" courses. NPC offers general education courses in the fields of business, accounting, finance, writing, mathematics, social sciences, etc.[2] NPC, through its graduate division, National Juris University,[3] also offers master's degrees in legal studies,[4] taxation[5] and compliance law.[6] National Paralegal College's Master of Science in Compliance Law (Employment Law Track) program is accredited[7] by the Compliance Certification Board (CCB)®. Since 1999, the Compliance Certification Board has developed criteria to determine competence in the practice of compliance and ethics across various industries and specialty areas, and recognizes individuals meeting these criteria through its compliance certification programs. Graduates of the accredited NPC program will be eligible to sit for any of the basic compliance exams administered by the CCB. Content deliveryNational Paralegal College educational courses are offered via synchronous learning. Each course includes twice-weekly live audio-visual classes using the Adobe Connect platform.[8] In addition, all 100 level NPC paralegal courses utilize custom written online textbooks on a variety of subjects, including torts, contracts, criminal law, constitutional law, wills and estates, domestic relations, etc. These resources are also made available to the public and have been cited by numerous organizations, including the National Association of Catholic Chaplains,[9] religioustolerance.org[10] and the Massachusetts Trial Course law libraries website.[11] Other content made publicly available includes a series of legal analyses of the news prepared and delivered by National Paralegal College faculty.[12] Accreditation and agreementsNPC maintains a number of licenses, memberships, accreditation and agreements:
