  • National Security Space Law - 1 Credits
  • Telecommunications Law (Domestic) - 3 Credits

Additional Requirements:

  • Complete 24 Credit Hours Total (this total includes the 16 required class credit hours)
  • Complete a program of study approved by the Director of the program (meaning classes taken outside of our subject area must be approved)
