SALT LAKE CITY — Brigham Young University is now offering an online course for people who want to learn the ins and outs of immigration law.

The class focuses on the practical parts of representing immigrants and refugees with a certified nonprofit group. Students can also use the course in preparation to get accredited through the Department of Justice to represent refugees and immigrants.

For Carolyn Andrews, the associate dean of BYU’s Continuing Education, the course hits close to home.

“This project is deeply personal to me,” Andrews explained. “Thirty-four years ago, I was a confident newlywed BYU student beginning the immigration process by myself. I didn’t have money for an immigration attorney. I thought, ‘How hard could it be?'”
