The Education Law Institute is now offering online courses that can be taken individually or as part of the MEL and CAGS degrees. Together with the summer conference, and projects and externships at the student's location, the online offerings make it possible for students to complete the MEL and CAGS degrees at their own locations. Online classes are conducted using a variety of assignments and media including audio, threaded discussion, journals, online feedback, and online chat. There is also likely to be a chance for conference phone calls. Much of the law controlling schools is statutory and regulatory.
Educators can have a direct influence on agencies and legislatures.
The Federal Administrative Procedure Act will be considered as a model and state laws and programs will be considered as well. The course is designed for all segments of the education community, especially those who need to know the current thinking on issues of great national and regional import. This course is a survey of higher education law.
