RUSTON, La. (AP) — Louisiana Tech University has moved one step closer to creating an online post-baccalaureate certification program in business.

The News-Star reports (http://tnsne.ws/130TjPd ) the proposal won approval this past week from the University of Louisiana System Board of Supervisors. It still needs approval of the Board of Regents.

The program, which would be fully online, is designed to help students develop a basis for master’s level education in business or to improve workplace skills.

Students would be able to choose four of six courses focused on accounting, economics, finance, marketing, management and information systems.

The program is expected to draw students who want to pursue a master’s degree in business administration at Louisiana Tech but do not have an undergraduate degree in business.
