Dr. David Clinefelter, Provost, answers:
Yes, KU associate’s and bachelor’s degree recipients are eligible to take the PACE Examination for Paralegals (Paralegal Advanced Competency Exam), which is administered by the National Federation of Paralegal Associations.

Both organizations allow individuals who graduate from accredited universities—like Kaplan University--to sit for the examination.
