On behalf of Graduate Studies, Congratulations to all that are graduating this Spring!

We wish the best for you moving forward into the next chapter of your lives!

With the the Spring Semester coming to an end, LSUS Graduate Studies has some exciting news regarding our MLA program.

LSUS and Centenary entered into an agreement which will allow Centenary undergraduate students to enroll early into LSUS’s Master of Liberal Arts program.

The collaboration will create more definitive pathways for Centenary students to continue their education in Shreveport while LSUS can attract more students into its MLA program.

Centenary president Dr. Christopher Holoman and LSUS chancellor Dr. Robert Smith signed the agreement at Centenary’s Hamilton Hall on April 30th.

Eligible Centenary seniors can get a head start on their master’s degree at LSUS while completing their final year of Centenary classes.

A 3.5 GPA is required to begin taking master’s level classes as a senior.

Centenary students who meet program entry requirements (3.0 GPA in the last two years of undergraduate study) can be accepted early into the MLA program, solidifying the next step of their educational and professional journey.

Centenary undergraduates will be eligible for graduate assistantship appointments, which provide a tuition waiver and compensation for hours worked.

The agreement extends to Centenary faculty, who may apply for graduate-faculty status at LSUS, allowing them to teach graduate courses in the LSUS MLA program.

Collaborative research ventures leading to conferences and workshops will be explored.

The memorandum of understanding is the second such agreement signed by Shreveport’s two four-year universities.

Centenary and LSUS signed a similar agreement this past June for Centenary undergraduates to enroll in LSUS’s Master of Public Health program.

Both Holoman and Smith emphasized that Centenary and LSUS aren’t competitors but collaborators who can mutually benefit from each other’s strengths.

On behalf of Graduate Studies, please enjoy Good Friday!

Our office will be closed so please take this time to enjoy yourself and relax!

Celebrating Holi!
