“It’s worked for Northwestern State University, and LSU-Shreveport officials hope online programs can do the same to help their campus. The urban university for more than 30 years has struggled to increase its enrollment through traditional classroom offerings. And while its headcount continues to bounce around 4,200 students, LSUS interim Chancellor Paul Sisson sees online programs as the key to raising enrollment to more than 7,000 students. In fact, LSUS saw total enrollment decrease by more than 400 this academic year as standards required for students to enter were raised. However, a bright spot came in a 7 percent increase in graduate student enrollment – with the majority choosing to take online courses.
