LSU OGDEN HONORS COLLEGE JOINS SEC-WIDE INITIATIVE EXAMINING THE FUTURE OF COLLEGE ATHLETICS

A new honors special topics course for fall 2026, co-taught by Dr. Mike Rolfsen and U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. Examine the policy, practice, and politics shaping the future of American healthcare from both clinical and legislative perspectives.

The Ogden Honors College offers a slate of special topics courses that don't always make it onto students' radars, and are easy to miss when you're hunting for a class to round out your schedule. We pulled together eleven courses offered this fall, with topics ranging from Bollywood cinema to artificial intelligence to the rhetoric of the Civil Rights Movement, that deserve a closer look before you finalize your fall plans.

Every May, the Ogden Honors College celebrates a group of students who have gone above and beyond in the classroom, in the lab, in the field, and in their communities. This year's graduating class is no different. From archaeological digs in the English countryside to policy research presented at Harvard, from laboratory breakthroughs to community-centered service, the Class of 2026 leaves LSU having made their mark.
