Tulane 2024 Viewbook

We acknowledge and pay tribute to the original inhabitants of this land. The city of New Orleans is a continuation of an indigenous trade hub on the Mississippi River, known for thousands of years as Bulbancha. Native peoples have lived on this land since time immemorial, and the resilient voices of Native Americans remain an inseparable part of our local culture.

With gratitude and honor, we acknowledge the indigenous nations that have lived and continue to thrive here.

Only at

Tulane!

NEW NEW ORLEANS ORLEANS

Choctaw, Houma, Chitimacha, Biloxi, and other Native peoples first inhabited the land that is now called New Orleans. The Choctaw called it “Bulbancha,” or “the land of many tongues.” Over 1,000 members of the Chitimacha tribe still reside on their ancestral homeland outside of New Orleans.

African and Indigenous influence can be seen coming together in the tradition of Mardi Gras (or Black Masking) Indians. You’ll see them in elaborate, handmade suits of beads and feathers throughout festival season, including their Super Sunday processions.

The French were the first European settlers in New Orleans, renaming the area “La Nouvelle-Orleans.”

Louisiana was then briefly under Spanish control, before the French regained control and sold the land to the United States. Elements of Spanish, French, African, and Indigenous cultures still color aspects of city life today, including language, food, religion, and architecture.

FOOD

Whether it’s eating beignets at Café Du Monde, picking up a po-boy at Parkway Bakery and Tavern, or dining at Commander’s Palace, food is an integral part of New Orleans culture. Many cultural influences can be seen in local cuisine today. New Orleans restaurants have won several James Beard awards and have been nationally recognized in publications such as The New York Times.

FESTIVALS

TRADITIONS

Louisiana is home to more festivals than days of the year, and over 130 take place in New Orleans alone. If you can dance to it or eat it, chances are we celebrate it here. Popular festivals include the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, Po-Boy Fest, Essence Fest, and French Quarter Fest.

From second lines for all occasions to festivals celebrating many aspects of city life and culture, New Orleans really is a city like no other. Mardi Gras is a major event, stretching from January to Fat Tuesday in February or March.

Sports culture is also a big part of the city, with the Saints of the NFL and the Pelicans of the NBA in town, not to mention Tulane’s own Division I athletic programs.

TULANE The history of Tulane and the history of New Orleans are inextricably intertwined. Founded in 1834 as the Medical College of Louisiana, the university hoped to serve the rapidly expanding population of New Orleans. Classes were taught in a variety of locations downtown, including the Charity Hospital building, which Tulane is in the process of renovating and transforming into a mixed-used space set to open in 2027.

Then known as the University of Louisiana, the institution is privatized and renamed Tulane University after merchant Paul Tulane, who endowed over $1 million dollars.

1834 The Medical College of Louisiana is founded in New Orleans by seven young doctors.

1884

The university’s first Black undergraduate students, Deirdre Labat and Reynold Décou, enroll.

1894 The Uptown campus on St. Charles Avenue is established, stretching 1.5 miles back to Claiborne Avenue.

1963

HISTORY Tulane’s Studio in the Woods, now one of the leading artistic and academic residency programs in the Gulf South, is donated by the Carmichael family.

1964 The Tulane National Primate Research Center, originally known as the Delta Regional Primate Center, opens in Covington, LA.

2004

Tulane opens Paul Hall, a transformative home for science and engineering.

2016 Tulane’s ByWater Institute and the Tulane River and Coastal Center opens.

ACADE MIC Life At Tulane 7 SCHOOLS 70+ MAJORS

Tulane prides itself on providing its students the academic flexibility to take classes in any of our seven undergraduate schools. Since they’re not required to declare a major until the end of sophomore year, this allows students time for academic exploration. We believe that it’s not about what your major is, but about the interdisciplinary knowledge students take away from their time at Tulane. What makes Tulane’s education and research so distinctive? Simply stated: our singular history, location, and culture, combined with our size and structure, put us in a unique position to push the boundaries of interdisciplinary collaboration.

These events are free for students in the campus community to attend. Recent guests include Jason Derulo, Allyson Felix, Jennette McCurdy, and Stephanie Beatriz.

The lineup has featured the best of the New Orleans music scene, including Grammy-nominated Tank and the Bangas. The fest is free to Tulane students and open to the community.

TRADITIONS

BEAD TREE

On the academic quad, you’ll find a three metal structures adorned with colorful strands of beads year-round. It has become tradition for students to toss strands they collect during Mardi Gras up onto the branches. If they stay, it is seen as a sign of good luck for upcoming exams. This new “Bead Three” was built after the original Bead Tree was sadly struck by lightning.

CONVOCATION

From your first days on campus to your last, you’ll be part of New Orleans and Tulane Traditions. Students are welcomed into the Green Wave family by President Fitts and a traditional New Orleans second line at Convocation.

OUTREACH TULANE Outreach Tulane is a campus-wide day of service that brings in over 1,000 students and community volunteers.

Study Abroad

100

DIFFERENT PROGRAMS

IN OVER 40 DIFFERENT COUNTRIES

DIRECT ENROLLMENT

Direct Enrollment offers a classic study abroad model. Students enroll at a local university and take classes alongside local degreeseeking students. They’ll have the opportunity to choose from a variety of courses taught by host university faculty. Students are immersed in foreign university life and the language of their host country.

HYBRID PROGRAMS

Hybrid programs combine the characteristics of direct enrollment and cohort program models. Students have the opportunity to create a program of study combining one or more local university courses taken alongside host country students with supplemental courses taught exclusively for study abroad students at a study center.

COHORT PROGRAMS

Students take courses at a study center with other students studying abroad. These programs often involve a set curriculum including excursions to immerse students in the culture of the host country. Instructors are host country nationals or on-site program staff and offer courses either in English or the language of the host country.

ALTMAN PROGRAM

Through the Altman Program in International Studies and Business, students earn two degrees – one in a liberal arts major and one in business. Altman Scholars participate in study abroad experiences, including a summer trip with their cohort and their entire junior year abroad in a country where a target language of their choice is spoken.

SPRING SCHOLARS

Students accepted as part of a Spring Scholar cohort have the option to spend their first semester studying abroad at one of five partner schools: John Cabot University, The American University of Paris, Temple University’s Japan Campus, Richmond American University London, or the UIC Barcelona School of Architecture.

WHERE PASSION MEETS PURPOSE

Some of the most anticipated, but also bittersweet, traditions surround commencement. Each school hosts a diploma ceremony, and then all of the graduates come together for Unified Commencement.

At this celebration, students hear from various speakers, including some special guests. Past speakers include actress Helen Mirren, actor/singer Leslie Odom, Jr., and musician Stevie Wonder. Students are serenaded with the song “Do You Know What It Means to Miss New Orleans,” and then their time at Tulane is brought full circle by ending with a second line from Dr. Michael White and His Original Liberty Jazz Band.

After commencement, Tulanians begin their next chapters all across the globe — in jobs, fellowships, graduate studies, and more. They join an alumni network that is 160,000+ strong, and they know that Tulane and New Orleans will always welcome them back with open arms.
