Special Services

The Department of Special Services is home to the federal TRIO programs, which are designed to help students overcome economic, social, academic, and cultural barriers to higher education. And one thing's for sure: TRIO works!

The programs offered through the Department of Special Services are a supplement to the University's academic programs, and are for students from elementary school through college and those preparing to attend graduate school.

The programs include:

Upward Bound
Upward Bound Math/Science
Educational Talent Search
Student Support Services (Regular, STEM, Teacher Prep, Veterans, and Disability)
Veterans Upward Bound
Louis Stokes-Louisiana Alliance for Minority Participation (LS-LAMP)
McNair Program

Kimberly

"If someone would have told me that I would be graduating with a Bachelor of General Studies degree while I was a freshman, I would have told them they were insane. Yet now, I somehow could not imagine anything else."

Michael

"I am in full belief that University College is the right way to go. I am so thankful that University College took me under their wings and for the opportunities that they have created for me. It now makes me the first in my family to graduate!"

Jada

"University College allows you the freedom to take a class and see if you like it before choosing it as your overall major. I enjoyed being able to choose my classes because I feel that I can use it to sell myself when applying for jobs."
