Air and Space Law Minor

Description

Advancing technologies tend to fall within fissures in law and regulation, thereby requiring cross-disciplinary policy responses. Aerospace industries increasingly rely on technical expertise combined with knowledge of law and regulation to better inform policy choices intended to bridge such fissures. The Graduate Minor in Air and Space Law trains and educates graduate students in aerospace law, policy and regulation, and brings together graduate students from various disciplines to foster an interdisciplinary approach to better equip students to enter industries at the cutting edge of advancing technologies.
