Under the agreement, Fort Polk’s Education Services Office will work closely with LSUA staff to facilitate soldiers' access to Army tuition assistance and provide necessary space for administrative personnel, faculty, and classroom instruction. Classes will primarily be offered during off-duty hours, prioritizing military members and their families, with additional enrollment capacity open to others as available.
“Our mission is to educate the region, enhancing workforce development for our communities," LSUA Chancellor Dr. Paul Coreil said. "However, partnering with Fort Polk holds a deeper meaning due to our profound respect for military service."
