Agricultural & Food Law LL.M. - Assistantships, Jobs, Distance Opportunities

The LL.M. Program in Agricultural & Food Law is pleased to announce our expanded curriculum including emerging issues such as urban agriculture, food justice, and local/regional foods. Changes in the 2014 Farm Bill, including farm programs, crop insurance, beginning farmer provisions, enhanced support for organic agriculture, and the nutrition programs are incorporated throughout our curriculum.

A limited number of Graduate Assistantships are available to LL.M. Candidates who attend the Program face-to-face. These provide for a full tuition waiver plus a small stipend  As our alumni have learned, Northwest Arkansas is beautiful place to live and study.

For information on agricultural & food law employment opportunities, view the list of jobs that our recent alumni have landed. 

We are also excited to launch a distance degree option for our Program beginning Fall 2014. Full, part-time, and non-degree enrollment options are available.

The distance option offers full integration with our longstanding face-to-face program. 

  • Distance students will have the opportunity to participate in on-campus classes through synchronous videoconferencing. Classroom capture and online exercises will allow participation when video-conferencing is not convenient.
  • Innovative hybrid courses using a flipped model of instruction will also be available to both face-to-face students and online students.
  • Condensed course taught by recognized leaders in the ag & food community will continue to be available to all in an intensive conference-style format. 
For more information, the slideshow Why Study Agricultural & Food Law is also helpful, or contact us at llm@uark.edu or call (479) 575-3706.
