Academic Common Market

The Academic Common Market (ACM) is a tuition-savings program for college students who want to pursue degrees that are not offered by their in-state institutions. Residents of Arkansas, Delaware, and West Virginia may enroll in the MLIS program at LSU and pay LSU's in-state tuition rate.

To participate:

  1. The student must be admitted to the MLIS program at LSU.
  2. Once admitted to the program, the student must be certified as a resident of Arkansas, Delaware, or West Virginia by contacting the state's ACM coordinator. Contact information for state coordinators can be found at the .

The only SIS program offered through the ACM is the MLIS. Students enrolled in graduate certificates who are not residents of Louisiana will be charged the non-resident fee. Tuition and fee information can be found at Tuition and Fees.
