Universities and Research Institutes
The following is a sample variety of universities with space studies programs, research institutes and space law centers. There are many others all over the world. In addition, there are many institutions and universities offering specific courses on various topics related to outer space development.
Webster University Worldwide has several online programs for people interested in exploring "the international" and earning an advanced degree in International Relations.
Masters in International Relations

New programs are being established everyday. For example, I was on yahoo.com searching for the person who developed the "switchable hotel" model - a spaceship that turns into a space hotel. He name is H. Lorenzo who was associated with the International Center for Space Applications. I presented at the same symposium at the International Space University with this scholar in 2002. When I searched for "International Center for Space Applications" I located many new links:
For example this program demonstrates something that I have been publishing papers about - the need to teach space studies to K-12:
