Natchitoches, LA -- (SBWire) -- 02/18/2013 --Online universities like Northwestern State University of Louisiana (NSULA) have increased their options for students in many walks of life, and the CALL program at NSULA is a great example.

Advising and Internet registration begins Feb. 13 for the upcoming session of the Center for Adult Learning in Louisiana (the “CALL” program). CALL is especially appropriate for mature adults with a clear focus and desire to pursue a distinct course of study based upon educational and work experiences. Northwestern offers five CALL degree programs that may be completed entirely online under the “fast track” method or in a regular semester format. These include Bachelor of General Studies; Bachelor of Science in Addiction Studies; Bachelor of Science in Psychology; Bachelor of Science in Nursing; and Bachelor of Science in General Business.

CALL fast track courses are offered in 4- and 8-week sessions that allow the student to focus on one or two courses at a time. The online format provides flexibility and convenience. Advising and registration for the upcoming session continues until March 8.

NSULA is among the top universities in Louisiana. For more than 125 years Northwestern State University has met the educational needs of students through quality academic programming.
