CCAF GEM Courses

Louisiana Tech is proud to partner with Air University in supporting the Air Force and Space Force General Education Mobile (GEM) program.  This is specifically designed for Air Force and Space Force members interested in earning an Associate’s Degree from the Community College of the Air Force (CCAF). Louisiana Tech is currently approved to offer the following online courses in the GEM curriculum:

In addition, students may enroll in a wide variety of other courses which are conveniently scheduled in the evenings on Barksdale Air Force Base.  One major benefit of taking these courses with Louisiana Tech is students earn semester hours on Tech’s quarter system, thus are able to complete degree requirements quicker as all courses occur during Tech’s 12-week quarters.

Note: Barksdale section courses cost $214 per credit hour (Tuition and fees subject to change). For up-to-date costs, visit Tuition and Fees.

You can distinguish the online courses from the classroom courses in the Section Code column with all online courses having a code of 97 while the classroom courses have a code of 95. For enrollment or online academic support, contact the Barksdale Program reception office at 318.456.5005.
