Is there a catch to UoL @ Lafayatte's RN-BSN program?

So far i havent heard anything bad about it. Im currently a nursing student at LSU-Eunice and plan to attend UL's RN-BSN program once i graduate.

It's a public university system too right? So it's not even a for-profit system like Excelsior.

It says, as little as 12 months, and there are some academic pre-reqs that you may not have taken, so it may take a few years, but it looks good.

Correct. ULL is under the LSU system if i am not mistaken, so it is a public university.

It takes 6 to 8 months to complete the program. If you go online to their website it tells you all the prerequisites for the program, in addition to a course outline that tells you what classes you'll have to take once you enter the program. If i am not mistaken, I think there is only one course that cannot be taken online.

I went to a different school (WGU), but if I had not gone there I would have done ULL - it seems like a good program and I think the only catch is that if you need extra classes they aren't part of the fee.. but other than that I don't know of any catches! :)

Excelsior College is a private not-for-profit school.

I don't know that it is much cheaper than any other public University. I have attended ULL's RN to BSN program. For the most part, the nursing classes are not bad, and the year seemed to fly by. However, I would not suggest taking any prerequisites from them online. I personally think they make those classes almost impossible to pass. You are better off taking core classes locally then enrolling at ULL for just the actual nursing. They also recommend you take only one or two classes at a time, which they give you a personal plan outlining when to take each class. They are also extremely hard to get a hold of and when you do talk to someone they seem to know very little about the program. So overall you are pretty much on your own. They do assign you a student coordinator or something but the one assigned to me was not very helpful. She did call once every few months to "check in" but she could never provide me with clear answers to my questions and often seemed put out that she "had to call".
