Page "Louisiana Tech University" Paragraph 9

Article 256 of the 1898 state constitution changed the school's name to Louisiana Industrial Institute.

Two years later, the course of study was reorganized into two years of preparatory work and three years of college level courses.

Students who were high school graduates were admitted to the seventh quarter ( college level ) of study without examination.

As years went by, courses changed and admissions requirements tightened.

From 1917-1925, several curricula were organized according to the junior college standards and were offered as Bachelors of Industry.

In 1919, the Board of Trustees enlarged the curricula and started granting a standard baccalaureate degree.

The first of these was granted on June 15, 1921, a Bachelor of Science in Engineering.
