Academics
Research
Research is integral to the purpose of Louisiana Tech University. Research leads to discovery and the advancement of new knowledge. Through discovery, faculty and students share in the learning process and contribute to the betterment of society. Through research, the faculty better understand the limits of knowledge in their disciplines and can ensure that curricula maintain relevancy. Our students are then better prepared to be more effective in supporting the growth of their future employers. They are also more prepared to pursue advanced studies and continue in the life-long pursuit of learning.
