Number of LSU Online programs triples since inception - Riley Katz, the Daily Reveille

The online program started in March of 2013 with three different programs available to students, but since its inception, the program has tripled in size to nine programs, said Amanda Major, interim director of LSU Online. “LSU wanted to stay competitive in online programs, so we have progressed lightning quickly in the past two years to keep in competition with other universities across the country,” Major said. Looking to the future, Major said LSU Online is hoping to expand programs for in-demand and niche degrees in the future, like the new Master of Arts in education with specialization in educational technology program, slated to start next year on March 7, 2016. http://www.lsureveille.com/daily/number-of-lsu-online-programs-triples-since-inception/article_46ee9e7a-34b9-11e5-a760-9f075d696711.html
