Historical Information
After nine years as a two-year institution, LSUS was advanced to four-year status in 1976 through the efforts of state Senator Don W. Williamson of Shreveport and state Representative Joe Henry Cooper of Mansfield, the seat of De Soto Parish.
Since becoming a four-year institution, LSUS has acquired regional and national accreditation and has added more programs.
In early 2009, LSUS announced it was attempting to cut expenses by merging the College of Liberal Arts with the College of Science to form the College of Arts and Sciences and also merge the College of Business Administration and the College of Education and Human Development into the College of Business, Education and Human Development. Further, LSUS announced it would eliminate two dean and two associate dean positions.
