Tuition increases coming to Louisiana?
Governor Jindal proposes legislation which may increase tuition at state universities in Bayou country.
…Remedial classes would disappear at four-year schools, along with most associate degree programs, in an effort to steer students seeking those courses to less expensive community colleges. Online courses would have to be expanded.
In exchange, schools could raise their tuition and fee costs — without a vote of the Legislature — by up to 10 percent a year until they reach the average of similar schools in the South. LSU would be able to raise its tuition until it reaches the average of similar flagship schools nationally….
Louisiana universities, especially Louisiana Tech University and Northwestern State University, offer some of the most affordable tuition rates for online learners in the USA. This includes out-of-state residents.
If undecided about taking a masters or bachelors online, now may be a good time to act.
