Law Space, Cyber, and National Security Law, LLM

Description

Situated within the University of Nebraska College of Law, the Space, Cyber, and National Security Law Program bridges law, technology and global security — and has done so for over a decade. Students develop the skills they will need to solve problems now and into the future by exploring the laws and regulations that impact every satellite, phone call and online interaction. SCNSL graduates, faculty and alumni are leading the wave of international change from America’s heartland.

The LL.M. program is available both on campus and as an interactive online program. Online students can complete the program over several years to accommodate work commitments and attend class in real time online with opportunities to participate in class discussions. The program is open both to students with J.D. degrees from ABA-accredited law schools and to students with degrees in law from foreign universities, enrolling between 10-15 students per academic year to ensure individualized attention during the demanding course year.
