The enrollment counselors are helpful and very easy to work with,” stated Shannon Dashnaw-Booth who earned her online paralegal certificate from Boston University with help from The College Network®.

Between working fulltime, raising young children and earning her paralegal certificate, Shannon was also pursuing her bachelor’s degree in legal studies. The flexibility of Boston University’s online program is what made earning her certificate, while maintaining her other commitments, possible.

“I do not feel that it was hard for me. I do well in stressful and multi-task situations,” Shannon commented. “. You learn to make time and put forth the effort if something is that important to you.”

Shannon was exceptionally pleased with Boston University’s online Paralegal Certificate program. “I enjoyed the whole program. While it was stressful at times, it gave me a great understanding of issues that paralegals will come across in their careers,” she said.

“The instructors are exceptional and they really know what they are teaching. They also know that people do work for a living and that made it easier. It was easy flowing and easy to understand. If you had questions the instructors and the assistants were readily available to help,” she explained.

Shannon feels earning her paralegal certificate from Boston University will give her an edge in the current job market as well as in her future career endeavors. Her formula for success was simple: set a goal, make a few sacrifices and utilize the resources The College Network provides.

“If you are willing to make changes in your life and you are willing to sacrifice a little bit of sleep to achieve your goals, then this is the program for you. Make sure that you use all of the references and information that are given to you as tools for success. Many times people do not realize that they are given all the tools to succeed, but this program does exactly that, and if you use them correctly, you will succeed,” she said.
