LSU Online Offers New Opportunity to Finish Degree

LSU Online aids former students who would like to return to LSU to finish their degrees. With six online bachelor’s degrees currently and more on the way, LSU Online is now positioned to support any student ready to finish their degree at LSU — no matter how much time has lapsed.

“The team of enrollment and learner concierges at LSU Online provides a level of world-class customer service that sets that experience apart from any other university,” said Jason Shaw, Associate Director of Academic Affairs at the Cox Communications Academic Center for Student Athletes.

Staff and faculty at the Cox Center and across the university take great pride in providing a welcoming atmosphere for former students to return home to finish their degrees. The Cox Center has instituted Project Graduation, a program offered for students-athletes who would like to return to LSU to finish their degree. And for those who cannot make it back to the physical campus, that’s where LSU Online can be a viable option.

“Our goal is to make the process as streamlined and straightforward as possible to minimize the anxiety of coming back to school,” said Shaw. “LSU Online is another great option that we can present to student-athletes who want to finish their degree.”

Current LSU Online Bachelor’s Degrees include:

• Bachelor’s degree in Interdisciplinary Studies
• Bachelor of Science in Construction Management
• Bachelor of Science in Leadership & Human Resource Development
• Bachelor of Arts in Mass Communication with a concentration in Public Relations
• Bachelor of Arts in Mass Communication with a concentration in Political Communications
• Bachelor of Arts in Sociology

“Our faculty and staff have worked tirelessly to provide an online experience that holds the same rigor and status as an on-campus class,” said Sasha Thackaberry, vice president of LSU Digital & Continuing Education. “These students will earn the exact same diploma from a flagship university, but from anywhere in the world.”

All students interested in returning to LSU to finish their degree can start the process by consulting with their personal enrollment concierge to walk them through the application process. This team offers support in credentials, prerequisites, and financial aid. Once a student is admitted, they are partnered with a dedicated learner concierge, their one-stop resource from registration all the way to graduation.
