Here are a couple of interesting notes from NSU…

1.) The Masters of Arts in Art at Northwestern State University was named as the most affordable online master’s of art in the country by gradschoolhub.com. The Master of Arts in Art degree is an on-campus or a low residency online program. The on-campus version allows the student to interact with faculty and facilities. The online version allows the student to work from home. Most classes are available online, however the student is required to attend two three-week summer sessions or one semester at the beginning of their degree.

2.) Northwestern State University’s newly renovated bookstore, the Northwestern State Marketplace at 912 University Parkway, is open for business as of 8 a.m. Thursday. Hours this week will be 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Extended hours will be posted next week. Bookstore operations have ceased in the Friedman Student Union and have been moved to the NSU Marketplace.

Coushatta knows how to put on a show. The Journal would like to tip its cap to all the folks who put together the Phil Robertson event this week. Great food from Shaver’s Catering, great service by many members of the church and their youth, and professional traffic control and security services from the Sheriff’s Office. Everything went very smoothly and the very large crowd seemed well pleased. Congrats to First Baptist Church and their Men’s Ministry.
