10. Transfer Curricula



Louisiana State University Eunice offers college-transfer curricula that parallel the first two years of the various curricula offered on the LSU campus in Baton Rouge. When Louisiana State University makes any changes in a curriculum, those changes are immediately made in the first two years of that curriculum offered at LSUE.

Since the curricular requirements of other collegiate institutions outside the LSU System may vary, students should try to decide on the college or university to which they plan to transfer as soon as possible in their educational careers. Then the transfer student can carefully follow the curricular requirements of the transfer institution while he or she is at LSUE. Students in a transfer curriculum will receive a degree from the transfer institution once they complete all requirements at the college where they transfer.

Faculty advisors are available to aid the student in choosing among the various curricula offered and in working out special arrangements to meet particular educational plans. Curricula sheets that show which LSUE courses meet the curricular requirements at other institutions are available from faculty advisors.

Students who plan to transfer from LSU Eunice to a four-year college or university are encouraged to visit the Louisiana Board of Regents Transfer Guide to determine LSU Eunice course equivalences (The guide can be accessed on the Louisiana Board of Regents website under “Data and Publications” section.)

Major Transfer Programs in Business Administration

The two-year college transfer program requires courses which provide a sound foundation in the basic areas of business. Additional courses may be added to each curriculum to provide more specialization.
