ONLINE PHD IN AIR AND SPACE LAW 

Program Admission

With the online option, a candidate can

geographical constraints required to attend on-campus courses. If you are
located outside of the United States, please inquire as to online access prior
to submitting an application for admission.

Admission requirements to the online
program are the same as those for the on-campus program.

Following admission, a change in the status
(i.e., online to on-campus) requires the approval of the Director or Associate
Director.                   

Course Requirements

Online candidates must satisfy the same
course requirements as the on-campus students in order to receive an LL.M.
degree or a Graduate Certificate. All students must successfully complete a
minimum of 26 credit hours.

The course materials, deadlines, and
grading standards will be the same for the online and on-campus students. The
only difference between the two is where the applicant is located.

Online Student Experience

The online requirements are identical to
the on-campus requirements. Online applicants can attend all of the LL.M. and
Graduate Certificate lectures live (synchronous), if the online student
connects at the time the courses are being offered. When online students are
able to attend live, they online students will be able to participate in the
classroom experience with on-campus students and other online students
live.  All the students and professors will be able to
see and hear the online students, and vice-a-versa.

Alternatively, if the online candidate cannot
attend the live classes, the online student will attend at his or her own
convenience by downloading the lectures or PowerPoint slides online (on the
computer or mobile phone), and participating in classroom assignments, and discussion forums, and exams or papers.

All applicants, regardless of whether they
are on-campus or online, will be able to access the courses anytime and
anyplace with a computer or phone with an Internet connection. Professors
also have the option to use the Blackboard, which will allow them to post
course information such as their syllabi, PowerPoint, lecture materials, notes,
assignments, tests, announcements, and discussion forums. The discussion
forums will enable all the students and
professors to post questions, answers, and comments 24/7 and from any location
around the globe.
