Introduction

The Master of Food and Agriculture Law and Policy (MFALP) degree program is designed to educate future leaders in food and agricultural law and policy. Through intensive study and practical training, students learn to effectively engage the institutions and individuals that influence food and agriculture law and policy and formulate law and policy solutions.

MFALP students can choose from an array of over 50 residential and distance learning courses taught by world-renowned faculty, including those in our renowned Summer Session, as well as optional clinical training in one of the nation's first food and agriculture law clinics. The MFALP trains students in public advocacy and writing for a legal policy audience, offers opportunities for independent research with support from faculty, and opens doors to externships at organizations around the country and the world.

Our unique and comprehensive curriculum, developed by the faculty of VLGS's Center for Agriculture and Food Systems, develops students' advocacy skills in the growing and dynamic area of food and agriculture policy.

Most students complete the 30-credit MFALP program in 12 months, but students have up to five years to obtain their degree. The MFALP is also offered as a joint degree with Vermont Law and Graduate School's JD and is open to students enrolled at other law schools who wish to combine it with their JD. Our online courses, Summer Sessions, and experiential learning opportunities offer flexibility to students pursuing these joint options.
