Tulane pairs the personalized attention of a small liberal arts college with the resources of a large research university. That means there is always something to explore here, whether it’s mapping the neural connections of the brain or reimagining urban living, our 8:1 faculty-student ratio and average class size of 22 ensures you will have guidance and support from our world-class faculty.

PUBLIC SERVICE

Tulane was the first major research institution to incorporate service learning into the curriculum. Tulane has been recognized at the #1 Most Engaged in Community by The Princeton Review for several years.

CLIMATE & CULTURE

The first thing you may notice about Tulane’s campus is how green it is.

Professors teach classes outside year-round, enjoying the warm weather and the shade from the hundreds of historic oak trees rooted across our campus. When you’re ready to take a break from studying, it certainly doesn’t hurt to live in the #3 Best College City according to The Princeton Review. New Orleans culture is unlike any other with endless festivals celebrating food, music and art.

“I chose to come to Tulane because I loved the supportive environment on campus. At Tulane, everyone – students, faculty, and the University – wants you to grow as a person in all areas of life and supports you in whatever path you choose. I knew Tulane would offer me plenty of opportunities and would be the place to help me grow into the person I wanted to be. Plus, the campus is a beautiful place to be spending time.”

“I knew Tulane would push me out of my comfort zone and help me grow as a person and as a leader. There’s so many opportunities that come from being here at this school and in New Orleans. The larger umbrella of the university means a robust support network and plenty of avenues to explore academic interests. There’s also an incredible architecture school that’s established as a leader in public interest design.”
