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.

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.
