Southern University at Shreveport, Louisiana or Southern University at Shreveport, a campus of the Southern University System, opened for instruction on September 19, 1967.

Initially designated a two-year commuter college to serve the Shreveport-Bossier City area, its primary emphasis was to provide the first two years of basic college courses. Today, the college is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to award associate degrees.

On October 28, 1974, the Louisiana Board of Regents, then called the Coordinating Council for Higher Education, granted to the institution approval for six associate's degree programs in business, humanities, medical office assistant, natural sciences, office administration and social sciences. In 1978, it added an associate's degree in medical laboratory technology.
