The Agricultural and Environmental Law certificate program offers undergraduate students an opportunity to learn about a variety of legal concepts while achieving a 15-credit certificate. The program focuses on legal issues that arise in agriculture, rural communities, and the food industry. Legal concepts pertaining to water quality, land-use and other environmental concerns will also be studied to help students appreciate the challenges of directing immediate and long-term implications of food production, renewable energy and an expanding population. The goal of the program is to provide undergraduate students an opportunity to gain a more complete understanding of the laws that may impact their careers and personal activities.
