Saundra,
Although the degree from Grambling is in Developmental Education, many of
the courses discuss learning assistance and higher education administration.
I have read many articles written by authors that others have mentioned. If
I were not in the classes, I probably would not be researching and learning
about the field. I have attached the classes that are required by the
program in case anyone is interested.
