Louisiana State University allows students to take classes at other LSU System institutions. DSM students might consider the following courses at the University of New Orleans. Many of these classes are offered utilizing Electronic Learning technology and thus avoiding travel to New Orleans. LSU has restrictions on allowing students to enroll in other institutions while they are full time students on our campus.
