Concord University Law School
Concord Law School provides legal education over the Internet for students whose employment or other considerations prevent them from studying at a traditional law school. Since the school was founded in 1998, thousands of students from many states and foreign countries have participated in its programs.
Students use state of the art technology to participate in their classes. The University uses instructor-led electronic dialogs between professors and students, and interactive assessments of students' progress. Each student is assigned a law advisor who is responsible for supporting that student's academic efforts. Concord is accredited by the Accrediting Commission of the Distance Education and Training Council (DETC).
Degree Programs and Courses of Study
Executive JD Health Track Program
Healthcare administration has many legal requirements and responsibilities. The Executive JD sm Health Track program provides legal training designed for health care professionals who are required to have knowledge of healthcare law. The program includes many of the same courses taught in Concord's traditional Juris Doctor degree, but does not prepare them to sit for the Bar examination. The Health Track option includes 16 units of health law courses, and includes electives in Bioethics, E-health and telemedicine, Administrative Law for the Health Care Professional, and Health Policy.
In addition to training in the legal aspects of healthcare, students learn the fundamentals of legal procedures and develop their critical thinking, self-discipline, and communications skills.
