Nine Louisiana universities offer online collaborative degree - the Louisiana University System

As early as February 2013, University of Louisiana System institutions will begin accepting applications for the Bachelor of Arts in Organizational Leadership, a 100 percent online degree offered jointly by nine public universities. The accelerated degree completion program is designed for adults who stopped out of college. “According to the 2009 American Community Survey there are over 600,000 adults in Louisiana with some college credit and no degree. This pioneering program is a way to reach out to that market and entice former students to finish their degrees, while capitalizing on the unique strengths of nine public universities,” said UL System Interim President Tom Layzell. http://www.theadvertiser.com/article/20121024/NEWS01/121024028/Nine-Louisiana-universities-offer-online-collaborative-degree
