    I will dig up it for you. I just got back from an overnight meeting. I am glad you like LSU. Like I said, this the LSU BGS is something I plan on starting after my MBA just for pure enjoyment. I used to be in a similar program for the University of Iowa, but there DL rates kept skyrocketing every year. I am amazed that LSU still has such reasonable rates. LSU staff, if you are reading this, please continue to keep these reasonable rates DL rates, at least with the BGS program. :)

    I will get that link for you!!

    YEAH BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is how change comes about! There will be more like you to follow. You are a precedent setter my friend. One can simply wait for change, or one can affect change. I noticed many people going on and on about how unfair the Texas situation was, but they did not channel their energies properly. I will admit I used some behind the scenes union based guerilla tactics to help things along with this issue:). However, the people spoke collectively, and they won. I love it. Thanks for informing Mr. Lambert of you story. I am sure he will probably publish it in their newsletter.

    Thanks man!

    I too have been on the THEC's back like a rabid monkey attacking an elephant....or at least emailing and mailing letters.

    That looks interesting. It's a bit of a surprise however that the degree will not actually be granted by LSU but instead the Metropolitan College of the University of New Orleans.

    Is this a 100% transfer credit degree or is there a minimum amount of coursework that must be completed at the University?

    I believe you have to complete 10 courses through LSU (30 credits). 90 credits can be transferred in.

    Rock and Roll. I wonder if they accept credits from a DETC accredited school?

    Oddly, most of the links within the page are not available. Although the PDF document is still readily accessible.

    I believe they will evaluate them. In my case, I probably have more than enough RA credit to transfer in, then I would have to take the 10 classes from LSU.

    On another note, with all the strides DETC is making, I am going to suggest a mega marketing campaign to the Director. The purpose of this campaign would be to target and enlighten schools admissions personnel in regards to NA.

    Take care gents!

    In High school I owned and read just about every Louis L'Amour book I came across. Great books. I liked reading about the old west. Cowboys had codes to live by, similar to martial artists. I guess that is what attracted me to those books.
