Overview

LSU Shreveport is a public university in northwest Louisiana and part of the LSU System, serving primarily as the Shreveport-Bossier region's commuter-oriented option for undergraduate study.

Academics

Programs concentrate in business, education, and the sciences, with the university's most substantial recent growth coming through its online MBA and other graduate and professional offerings rather than undergraduate expansion.

Worth knowing

Students should expect a commuter campus culture rather than a traditional residential experience; most undergraduates live off campus and split time between school, work, and home responsibilities in the Shreveport-Bossier area.
