The University of Louisiana at Monroe is joining other universities in the state by offering a course through the CALL initiative, or Continuum for All Louisiana Learners, this fall.

The initiative makes it possible to enroll at a Louisiana public college or university and earn a degree online at an accelerated pace.

Administered by ULM's Department of Health Studies, the course will answer existing and future health care needs, according to department head Jessica Dolecheck.

The TownTalk.com website, serving Alexandria, Pineville, and Central Louisiana, covers the graduation of 14 CALL graduates from Northwestern State University. Please click here for the entire article:
