In September of 1965, Tech Barksdale was created on Barksdale Air Force Base to meet the needs of active-duty Air Force personnel. Military members, as well as many working adults, often have schedules with varying work shifts and long, unpredictable hours. Tech Barksdale caters to the needs of working adults wishing to pursue a college education.
Military personnel have priority when registering for classes.
However, classes are almost always available for the civilian population to attend. We offer a variety of classes taught by the immediate faculty of Tech Barksdale, instructors from the Tech main campus, or other qualified educators from the local area. This creates a comfortable learning environment and provides for a more personalized education. Tech Barksdale offers several degree programs ranging from associate to master level. Louisiana Tech University is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to award associate, baccalaureate, masters, and doctoral degrees.
