Did you know that Louisiana was one of the leading states in the nation within the field of Teacher Preparation?

In an effort to create a common "language" across the LCTCS, three years of listening and development have been invested in the writing of the LCTCS Glossary of Common Definitions: Edition One . It was adopted on May 14, 2003 by the LCTCS Board of Supervisors and should serve as a guide for both the academic and administritive work of the colleges as they work to create common reporting and assessment procedures.

Streamlined course and program transfer/ articulation are important to Louisiana college students of all ages. After ten years of participation by Louisiana 's pubic colleges and universities, the Louisiana Board of Regents has taken the lead in creating the state's first Electronic Articulation Matrix. The matrix features courses that can be transferred between and among Louisiana 's colleges and universities within all degree programs.
If transfer of courses, or programs, will be a part of your college planning, it would be wise to utilize this matrix to first check the transfer of courses. Then check with the college or university to which you wish to subsequently transfer for the applicability to those courses to the program(s) of your choice.
