    Tuition at LSUA Will Not Increase for 2017-2018 Academic Year

    Add to this the quality of education received, and LSUA is hands-down the best value in Louisiana for a baccalaureate degree.  Considering that LSUA ranks among the top 10 schools nationwide of least amount of debt incurred upon graduation (U.S. News), there is simply no comparison to our educational value.

    LSUA residents will also be happy to learn that the cost of living on campus will not increase.  Costs to live on campus range from $1,655 to $3,945 based on the type of room selected and these amounts will remain the same as they were during the fall 2016 semester.  There will be new meal-plan options for both residents and commuters with pricing ranging from $225 to $1,675.

    As LSUA continues growth and advancement in its 100% online program offerings, a new course fee of up to $50 per 7-week course will be assessed starting with the FALL2 online-only semester.  The revenue generated from this fee will go directly toward online tutoring, academic assistants, faculty training, course development, and proctoring for student exams.  Tuition in the 100% online programs has been slightly lower than tuition/fees for on-campus programs.  This new fee will bring the total cost of an online program more in line with LSUA’s traditional face-to-face degrees.

    When asked about these change for the upcoming fall, Mr. Deron Thaxton, Vice Chancellor for Finance and Administrative Services, was happy to see minimal changes.  “Over the course of the last 10 years, LSUA has increased its tuition and fees by hundreds of dollars each year.  Even though we’re still very low in terms of total cost, we understand the financial burden those increases have placed on many of our students.  We were happy to announce earlier this week that TOPS has been fully funded and our legislators and governor have also worked to ensure that higher education was funded at the same level as last year.  Those things combined allowed LSUA to keep our costs down going in to this academic year.  With total cost for a full-time student only increasing by $24 for traditional programs, our goal is to allow students to focus on their educational priorities and worry less about costs.”

    LSUA remains dedicated to providing a low-cost, high-quality education and collegiate experience.
