LSU INSIGHT

LSU INSIGHT is powered by a comprehensive dataset developed in 2024 through a partnership with Lightcast, a national leader in labor market analytics. By matching alumni records from all six LSU degree-granting campuses to a national database of professional profiles, LSU identified career and earnings outcomes for more than 58,402 alumni.

Additional data comes from trusted public sources, including the Louisiana Board of Regents and the Louisiana Workforce Commission, providing a well-rounded look at educational and economic trends.
