About Roosevelt University The Paralegal Studies Program shares a proud history with Roosevelt University. Roosevelt was founded in 1945 as an independent, nonsectarian, coeducational institution of higher learning. The Roosevelt experiment was a success from the start. Independent and unencumbered by tradition, Roosevelt was free to pioneer new educational programs and democratic decision making. Student representatives are voting members of the University Senate; and faculty, alumni and student representatives serve on the Board of Trustees. While insisting that its students meet the same high standards of academic excellence that characterize any first-rate university, Roosevelt had kept its doors open to the residents of the inner city, to students who work full time to support themselves, and to students who are the first members of their families to attend college. Current enrollment is more than 7,000 students, of whom about forty percent are pursuing graduate studies. A large percentage of Roosevelt students also work either full time or part time. Roosevelt offers programs and services that place the needs of its students uppermost in its priorities. Class schedules are flexible. Courses are offered from early morning until late at night as well as on weekends, and class sizes are small. The Roosevelt faculty, numbering more than 500 full-time and part-time members, is accessible to students. An impressive number of the faculty publish books and articles, conduct important research, and perform in the world's great concert halls. But first and foremost, Roosevelt professors are dedicated teachers who enjoy teaching and excel at it. Please click here for the Mission and Vision Statement of Roosevelt University.
