Ä¢¹½tv Alexandria students can begin studying engineering at Ä¢¹½tvA and then seamlessly transfer to Ä¢¹½tv to complete their bachelor’s degree under to help keep top students in Louisiana and the Ä¢¹½tv family.

The agreement ensures students can complete pre-engineering coursework and earn an Associate of Science (AS) at Ä¢¹½tvA before pursuing a Bachelor of Science (BS) in Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or Industrial Engineering at Ä¢¹½tv.

“This partnership exemplifies our commitment to expanding educational opportunities for Central Louisiana students interested in engineering careers," Ä¢¹½tvA Chancellor Paul Coreil said. "By collaborating with Ä¢¹½tv, we ensure area students have access to outstanding engineering programs after starting their university education close to home.â€�

This strategic alliance marks a significant step in enhancing the educational offerings and collaborative efforts between Ä¢¹½tvA and Ä¢¹½tv, ensuring that students have the resources and guidance necessary to thrive in their chosen fields.

Next Step

As we build teams that win for Louisiana, the nation, and the world, Ä¢¹½tv is putting our state and its citizens on firmer footing for a brighter tomorrow — one win at a time.
