1 LSU has 18 branch agricultural research stations spread out across the state of Louisiana. Five of these branch stations have respectively research specialties in the following areas: citrus, pecans, rice, sugar, and sweet potatos.
2 The Center for Advanced Microstructures & Devices is a purely research institute centered around a high-energy particle accelerator. It specializes in the following areas: (1) fabrication of extremely small electronic and mechanical devices, using X-ray lithography; (2) spectroscopic investigations of atoms, molecules, solids, and surfaces; and analytical applications for determining the structure and elemental composition of materials.
3 The Center for Coastal, Energy, & Enviromental Resources consists of a melange of departments, centers, and institutes. Among these are the following: Basin Research Institute, Center for Energy Studies, Coastal Ecology Institute, Coastal Fisheries Institute, Coastal Studies Institute, Department of Oceanography & Coastal Sciences, Institute for Environmental Studies, Mining & Mineral Resources Research Institute, Nuclear Science Center, and Wetland Biogeochemistry Institute. However, only 3 of these units—the Department of Oceanography & Coastal Sciences, Institute for Environmental Studies, and Nuclear Science Center—have curricula attached to them and give courses for credit.
