I know I am from the dark ages. First semester my oldest sister attended LSU, full time tuition & fees was $105.00 a semester. My first semester was $260.00. I have one that is a junior @ LSU and one that will start college somewhere in a little over a year.

Damn, you are from the dark ages. Tuition was about $1,300 back in 1990.

So, what is tuition for a full time in-state student at LSU now? I hope she isn't majoring in liberal arts or some other similar useless major.

You can't even buy a semester's worth of books with $1,300

Sadly it costs that much alone these days for a parking permit each semester

Is around $2,900 a semester I think, mine is on last semester of TOPS. He is in engineering. Younger one wants to do sports management, i.e. college/pro sports administration. By the way my first semester was in the fall of 1975. LSU grad, retired CPA and born in College Station, what a combo.

I don't know what it is now, but from 2008-2011 it was about 1600/semester for strictly tuition for in state.

No offense, but that degree/specialization is a pipe-dream at best. Tell him to get a degree that isn't so narrowly focused. I have a friend who did a masters in sports management and had a difficult time getting a job. Even after interning with professional teams. He didn't end up in the professional sports world like he dreamed, but has a good job with a national sport governing body.

I say all this to say that I think he could've landed the same job with a general business management or accounting degree which would've provided him with more options instead of such a limited focus.

Latest figures I saw were 3500 per semester for tuition and fees as an in-state student.

I could have sworn that full time was over 1800 or so a semester if you were taking about 15 hours during that same time.
