Candidates for Graduate School of Banking at LSU
For the busy young bank executive, it is often difficult to identify the route to a position of higher responsibility in the organization. Bankers in this position have full-time jobs and full-time personal lives as well, which makes the option of traditional graduate school a virtual impossibility.

6 Possible Revenue Sources for Banking under New Regulations
For many in the banking industry, the new regulatory environment has created an enormous strain on banks to maintain profitability, sustain revenues, and ideally, grow. The recent recession has created an environment of higher unemployment and sluggish home sales, only recently appearing to be on the mend.

GSBLSU- 65 Years STRONG!
The Graduate School of Banking at LSU has historically attracted the best and brightest for sessions on the oak-lined campus of LSU in Baton Rouge, LA. For the past 65 years, the curriculum provided to the students choosing to attend GSBLSU has provided a progressive and applicable course of classes, attentive to current and future impacts on banking, community, and the economy.
In the image above, the bankers are arriving at the Baton Rouge airport on the flight that was annually chartered, by Delta Airlines. The group of bankers flying through Atlanta to GSBLSU would have all arrived on this “Bankers Flight.” The flight continued to be allocated for the GSBLSU students through the mid-1970’s. Luckily for all current students, suits are no longer the standard dress, as the average temperature in Louisiana is about 85° in May.
The Graduate School of Banking is accepting applications for the upcoming session, and the online application can be accessed by clicking here. We look forward to another fantastic year of classes, and welcome all inquiries by phone or by our online contact form here.
