Students in Northwest Louisiana Technical Community College’s technical programs will have a new route to an associate degree beginning in spring 2027, the college announced October 29.
The Associate of Applied Science in Technical Studies will combine technical training with academic coursework. The college says the option will be available across all of its technical programs.
NLTCC has campuses in Minden, Mansfield and Shreveport. The announcement said spring registration was open and classes would begin January 19, 2027.
The college describes further university study as a possible next step, not a guaranteed transfer. Its student handbook says the receiving institution decides which credits it will accept. Students considering that route should check with their intended university before choosing courses.
The announcement does not specify the new degree’s required credits, total cost or individual course sequence. Students can request program details from NLTCC at 318 371 3035.
