Earn College Credit with Online Distance Learning

The Online Distance Learning (ODL) program offers a variety of individual college courses that may be taken by anyone, without being enrolled at LSU. Many students take these courses and transfer the credit to their own institution to fill a need in their degree program. Others take our courses to satisfy continuing education requirements, meet professional development goals, prepare to begin or return to college, and even for personal enrichment.
