Under the direction of Professor Emerita and Dean Dr. Laura Lindsay, LSU has combined the School of Education, the School of Human Resource Education and Workforce Development, the School of Kinesiology, the School of Library and Information Science, the School of Social Work and the University Laboratory School. As of July the collective group is the College of Human Sciences and Education.
Dean Lindsay noted on the website, “Over the last decade, the University has engaged in conversations about the need to realign academic programs that focus on education and human services. By bringing together programs and capitalizing on their individual strengths, we have created a dynamic new college that addresses the socially significant problems we face as a state and a nation.”
“In this new configuration, they are increasing their impact by forging partnerships and sharing resources that enrich and empower their ability to provide our students with an extraordinary education and opportunities to impact the lives of our citizens,” wrote Lindsay.
The new College of Human Sciences & Education will offer 7 undergraduate degree programs and 18 graduate programs, enrolling more than 1,600 undergraduate and 1,000 graduate students.
