Technology, Innovation, and Economic Development

Northwestern State Northwestern State University’s Office of Northwestern State Northwestern State University’s Office of Technology, Innovation, and Economic Development is comprised of Information Technology, Services (ITS), Electronic and Continuing Education, the Office of Sponsored Programs, NSU@Barksdale, NSU@Marksville, NSU@BPCC, and the CENLA and Leesville/Ft.Polk campuses. We think of education, innovation, and technology more broadly and from a variety of perspectives so that more people can benefit and have a greater quality of life.

Our goal is to stimulate innovation and the creation of intellectual property in support of the University’s mission: to be a responsive, student-oriented institution that is committed to the creation, dissemination, and acquisition of knowledge through teaching, research, and service. We consider Northwestern State University to be a state resource and an engine for economic growth and possibility.
