McNEESE STATE UNIVERSITY
State Authorization for Online Courses
McNeese has authorization to offer distance education programs in other states.
The State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (SARA) is a voluntary agreement among member states and U.S. territories and is intended to make it easier for students to take online courses offered by postsecondary institutions based in another state.
See the current authorization status of McNeese in each state (we serve all blue states on the map). Exceptions may be available for active duty or veteran students in states that McNeese does not serve. Please contact one of our advisors to verify eligibility.

I am a McNeese graduate with a bachelor's degree in Family and Consumer Science and a concentration in Child and Family Studies. As a student, I competed on the rodeo team and served on the SGA board. I earned my master’s degree in 2022 from the University of South Dakota in Educational Administration and Leadership with a concentration in Adult and Higher Ed. I have over 13 years of experience in adult education and 20 years of educational experience.
My favorite part of being a Freshman Advisor is helping students navigate their new life routine as a college freshman by offering support with in-person office visits or by email to help students meet their goals. I always remind students of my favorite BB King quote – “Education is one thing no one can ever take away from you.” I believe that supporting students is vital to a student's success.
In my spare time, I raise registered American Brahman cattle, and I enjoy all the "country girl" things like hunting, fishing, growing a garden and cooking.
