AccB — a three-year degree. What do the letters stand for? Almost completed curriculum bachelor’s?

“At the flagship, we’ll measure excellence the way the world measures it, by becoming a top 50 research institution,” LSU President Wade Rousse said.

This is a move in the opposite direction. LSU will never make that list because its priorities are 180 degrees opposite and have been since I was a student there.

The average time to a four-year degree is approximately six years. States would do well to tighten that up rather than reducing the number of credit hours.
