What can I do if I am attending a college that lied and said my paramedic license would work in a different state that I am originally from?
I have proof of this, as they openly advertise it on their website. Do I have to finish the course to be able to sue? I am a 3 months away from graduation but I do not wish to use it other than in the state in which it doesn’t work.

If the committed fraud--that is, misrepresented (or lied) about something material, such as the state's your license would be accepted in--then you can sue them to recover compensation, and you do not have to wait until you complete your course; you can file the lawsuit now, so long as you can prove that upon graduation, you will not have the value (the ability to work in that other state) that they promised.
