M.A. in Constitutional Government, Civics, and Law
This primarily virtual degree is designed to improve how K-12 educators understand and teach the ideas and practices critical to the perpetuation of constitutional government, ordered liberty, and the rule of law.
The Master of Arts in Constitutional Government, Civics & Law (MACGCL) at Utah Valley University is offered by the Center for Constitutional Studies through the School of Education.
