Undergraduate Academic Programs

Candidates undergo a variety of training experiences to develop their writing, speaking, visual and technological communication skills. They must also successfully articulate their leadership roles and experiences beyond the classroom that reflect their communication skills and their professional narrative.

This program recognizes the achievements of outstanding LSU undergraduates who participate in a track of educational and research activities leading to a final and public presentation or publication of a faculty-mentored undergraduate scholarly project.
