PINEVILLE, La. (LCU News) – Louisiana Christian University entered into an agreement that creates a pathway for Central Louisiana Technical Community College to earn a Bachelor of Applies Sciences degree.
LCU President Rick Brewer and CLTCC Chancellor Jimmy Sawtelle signed the agreement, May 6, that allows CLTCC students to complete their final two years of study to earn the degree.
“The University is pleased to expand our academic partnership with Central Louisiana Technical Community College,” LCU President Rick Brewer. “Chancellor Dr. Jimmy Sawtelle and the faculty and staff of CLTCC are providing an excellent educational experience, which we look forward to expanding to Bachelor and graduate degree opportunities at Louisiana Christian University.”
LCU’s Bachelor of Applied Science degree is designed for students who have completed an associate of science, associate of applied science, associate of applied technology or a technology degree and builds on a student’s technical expertise and provides the next step to advance a student’s careers goals.
This program provides the pathway for students to complete the degree by allowing students to transfer up to 60 hours of earned credits, 45 of which may be technical and/or approved military or police academy credits.
Sawtelle said CLTCC is proud and pleased to partner with LCU on this affordable opportunity for students to continue their education in central Louisiana.
“My daughter graduated from LCU last year, and she’s now living the dream that this college made a reality for her,” Sawtelle said. “Now, we want our graduates to soon be your graduates.”
