LSU has been unanimously invited to join the prestigious Association of Military Colleges and Schools of the United States, or AMCSUS.

The invitation was issued because of the university’s long-standing military tradition, active ROTC programs, and its current efforts to support the U.S. military through cybersecurity research and education.

LSU’s membership in AMCSUS provides the university with direct connection to those member military colleges for best practice sharing and collaboration, as well as access to grants, scholarships and internships for students, recruitment assistance for students interested in the military, and direct engagement and communication with the U.S. Office of the Secretary of Defense.

LSU’s history is steeped in military tradition, and in recent years, LSU has increased its focus on cybersecurity and national defense, prioritizing these areas as part of President William F. Tate IV’s Scholarship First Agenda.
