Louisiana Tech enrolls roughly 11,000 students each year. There are five colleges at the University, including Applied and Natural Sciences, Business, Education, Engineering and Science and Liberal Arts. There is a residency requirement that requires students to live on campus for two years of their education, but after that requirement is met, many move off-campus. The school is also active in athletics, with the men's Bulldogs and the Lady's Techsters both being well supported by the people of Ruston.

When to Search

Staying in the Know
