Man. BPCC sure has made significant gains in the past decade. Doubling LSU-S's enrollment.

I find it quite fitting that LSU-S had that largest decrease in total enrollment and undergraduate enrollment in the state by a wide margin. How about that LSU-Shreveport "Commitment" Plan!

Here's the LSU Shreveport Commitment Plan Status Report - Year One. Go to pages 8 through 23.

The highlights are:

• The Petroleum Engineering (online program) majors increased from 28 in Fall 2012 to 35 in Spring 2013.
• No information is provided on the number of Construction Management (another online program) majors at LSUS.
• LSUS and BPCC teamed up to establish offices on each campus (LSUS Outreach Office on BPCC campus, BPCC @ LSUS). No word on LSUS teaming up with SUSLA as proposed in the original commitment plan.

Somewhat related: it was announced last Saturday by the Interim Dean of COES that only approximately 5000 Louisiana high school graduates each year meet our standards.

I have been told the same thing, I believe there were 16,000 "graduates" in total. That is why raiding Texas is critical to the growth and advancement of Tech.

I guess more the reason to promote ourselves as The Tech. . . . .

So with this large drop in graduate students are we going to have a problem with maintaining Tier 1 this year?

Nope. They have a separate rankings for specific graduate programs, and those are based purely on peer assessment.

The seemingly precipitous drop in graduate students would be a threat to Tech's RU/H Carnegie classification if they were degree-seeking students in research-rich graduate programs (primarily doctoral); they are not. The "lost" students were almost solely non-paying lifelong learners (basically, continuing education).
