LSUA offered four baccalaureate degrees in fall 2003: the Bachelor of Science in Biology, the Bachelor of General Studies, the Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education, and the Bachelor of Liberal Studies. Because there were students at LSUA who had completed upper-level course work through LSU Senior College, LSUA was able to produce its first bachelor's degree graduates in December 2003. The university added a Bachelor of Science in Psychology in 2005 and a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics in 2006. The Department of Education now offers the Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education and Alternative Certification in the areas of Elementary Education, grades 1–5; Health and Physical Education, grades K–12; and Secondary Education, grades 6–12, for the disciplines of biology, English, history, and mathematics. Students who major in biology, English, history, or mathematics may declare Secondary Education as a minor in these areas of study, earning certification to teach that subject in grades 6–12. Add–on certifications are available for Early Childhood Education (PK–3) and Special Education in area of existing certification(s).
