CALL is looking to build a database for positions in various disciplines, including English, Math, Business, and Nursing. Interested individuals should have an M.A. from a regionally accredited institution and be interested in teaching in an accelerated format online. Some teaching experience is preferred.

Bossier Parish Community College (BPCC) remains committed to helping adults earn a college degree! Through the CALL program, adults can earn degrees in a “fast-track” format through almost exclusive 100% online instruction. Online classes offer the flexible, convenient opportunity for working professionals to attend classes electronically instead of attending traditional face-to-face classes.

The University of Louisiana at Monroe (ULM) CALL program is designed to enable adult learners to utilize the convenience and flexibility of online learning to earn a college degree. The opportunity to accelerate the process is offered through non-traditional course schedules of four- and eight-week sessions and through learning assessment tools such as challenge tests, CLEP tests, military experience, and portfolios demonstrating college level learning from work or life experiences. Courses are taught by innovative faculty members who appreciate the needs of the adult online learner.

Southeastern Louisiana University’s CALL program is designed to assist nurses holding associate degrees/diplomas to obtain the baccalaureate degree in nursing. Since most nurses are now fully employed in health care, there is a need for degree programs that use technology to offer online, interactive nursing education.

As a growing number of students at universities consist of adult learners over age 25, there is an immediate need to provide degree programs that will be appropriate for the family, work and time commitments of those individuals. McNeese State University is providing a Bachelor of Science Degree in Criminal Justice online in an accelerated format. The working adult will be able to attend class electronically and in a "fast-track" format of 6 or 8 week courses during the regular semesters.

LSUE is excited to be part of the CALL initiative, providing adults with new opportunities to earn a college degree.

Online classes offer the flexible, convenient opportunity for adult non-traditional students to attend classes electronically instead of attending face-to-face classes.

Students participating in CALL at LSUE can take a variety of general education and specific courses as part of the two-year degree of Associate of Science in Criminal Justice. The courses and degree will be delivered entirely online.

Recognizing the value of special programs for individuals with unusual backgrounds or abilities, the university has established the General Studies Program leading to a Bachelor of General Studies degree. The program provides flexibility to allow the student’s degree program to adapt to particular interests, background, time limitations, and ultimate career goals. It is especially appropriate for a mature person who has, as a result of various educational and work experiences, a clear focus and strong commitment to a particular course of study.
