Blackstone Career Institute’s mission is to provide high-quality, effective, technology-driven education programs and services preparing individuals for entry-level careers in today’s high demand fields. A pioneer in distance education, BCI is an accredited career training school offering affordable online courses to help adults advance in job fields such as: Paralegal, Medical Billing & Coding, Medical Office Assistant, Pet and Child care, and more. Meeting the needs of adult learners for more than a century, we stand as one of the oldest correspondence schools in the nation. We started as a group of educators within the Chicago-based Blackstone Institute who introduced a commentary on the modern rules of law and their origin, nature, and growth. In the late 1980’s the education component changed from a School of Law to a legal assistant/paralegal program of study and the institute moved from Chicago to Dallas. In September 2001, Direct Learning Systems Inc. purchased the legal assistant/paralegal school and moved it to Pennsylvania. Committed to high quality and affordable education, Blackstone now offers several career programs, each presenting professional-level knowledge, industry insight, and skills for opening the door to more opportunities. Blackstone operates with integrity, enthusiasm, and a strong commitment to our students’ success.
