Tiger ROAR | LSU HSS

Tiger Readiness Opportunity for Academic Rigor

Tiger ROAR is a summer bridge program designed exclusively for students who have great promise for success at LSU but fall just short of the regular admission requirements. To offer these students the opportunity to achieve regular admission to LSU, the Tiger ROAR Program will provide support services to help them succeed, such as study skills workshops and supplemental instruction for courses. Participants must complete six hours of coursework that will apply to the student’s chosen degree program. They must take a regular math or English course and an additional designated humanities or social sciences course. Upon successfully completing six hours during the regular summer session with a 2.5 GPA, students will be eligible to schedule courses for the fall semester. Classes start the week of June 5, so register today!
