ACADEMICS

DEGREE PROGRAMS We’re here to serve you. If you’re planning to pursue a four-year degree, our programs are fully accredited and widely respected in Louisiana. Our courses are easily transferable. We have transfer agreements for general education classes with all public universities in the state. There are transfer programs in 100 different areas. If you’d prefer more careerspecific study that will prepare you for the job market, we offer a variety of two-year associate degree programs

that correspond to the region’s and the country’s most in-demand vocational opportunities, including management, nursing, respiratory care, and the care and development of young children. If you’re looking for short-term job-specific training programs, we offer technical diplomas, certificates, and areas of competency.

If you decide to return to school to work toward an Associate Degree or a Bachelor’s Degree, your credits can be applied towards either degree.

2+2 PROGRAMS Our 2+2 programs with 4-year universities in the state allow you

to earn your bachelor’s degree quickly, and in some cases without leaving Eunice. If you enroll in a 2+2 program, you take your first two years of coursework in classes taught by our faculty; your last two years of coursework are taken in classes taught either on our campus, the 4-year school’s campus or online.

We have agreements with McNeese, LSU Alexandria, UL Lafayette and Northwestern State.

RESEARCH We’re eager to give you the chance to conduct research. Our faculty looks for ways to provide hands-on

experience that allows students to explore the questions at the heart of their field. Our Undergraduate Summer Research Institute supports students and faculty engaged in high-level, collaborative research projects.

URSI students regularly publish their work in respected academic journals and present it at regional and national conferences.

HONORS PROGRAM Our Honors Program is designed for high-achieving students who are ready to be challenged. Honors students enroll in intensive interdisciplinary seminars, as well as honors courses. Benefits include close advising from the program’s director, small classes with other high-ability students, and a robust scholarship program.

BRIDGE PROGRAM LSU Eunice and UL Lafayette have teamed up to offer a Bridge Program. Complete two years at LSU Eunice following the bridge plan, and have access to UL just like a Lafayette student.

PATHWAYS TO SUCCESS A one-year program for students who score a composite score of 15 or below on the ACT, or who do not have an ACT score. Students

enroll in a suite of required courses and elective courses that provide a strong foundation for college-level work. They also take advantage of focused tutoring and advising from the program’s professional staff. In 2008, Pathways won an Institutional Advising Award from the National Academic Advising Association and recently was identified as one of the best developmental education programs in the nation by the National Association of Developmental Educators.

MODULAR MATH A new quality enhancement program that is taking the campus by storm.

Students enroll in the modular math class and move at their own pace on video and computer-based modules with instructors providing assistance rather than lecturing in the classroom. The program allows students the opportunity to complete two semesters of developmental math in one semester at a reduced tuition rate for the second class. The program is growing in popularity, and the university plans to expand the program beyond remedial math classes.
