Southern University
Southern University, founded in 1880, is the flagship of the largest historically Black university system in the country, and its Baton Rouge campus overlooking the Mississippi River gives the university one of the most striking physical settings of any HBCU in the nation. The university's law school is one of the relatively few standalone HBCU law schools in the country, and Southern's agricultural and engineering programs reflect its land-grant institutional status, one of only a small handful of HBCUs holding that designation alongside more traditionally recognized land-grant universities. Southern's Human Jukebox marching band is one of the most celebrated HBCU marching bands in the country, known for its high-energy performance style, and the band's national visibility has made it a significant part of the university's broader public identity and recruitment appeal. The university's combination of its land-grant status, a standalone law school, and its celebrated marching band tradition has made Southern University one of the most institutionally significant HBCUs in the country, and its role as the flagship of the country's largest HBCU system gives it particular significance within Louisiana's public higher education landscape.
VS
Xavier University of Louisiana
Xavier University of Louisiana, founded in 1925, is the only historically Black Catholic university in the United States, and its pre-medical program sends more Black students on to medical school than any other undergraduate institution in the country, a distinction the university has held consistently for years. The university's pharmacy program is similarly one of the most productive sources of Black pharmacists in the country, and Xavier's combination of rigorous science preparation and its specific institutional mission serving Black Catholic students has made it one of the most academically significant HBCUs in the country for pre-health career preparation. Xavier's campus suffered significant damage during Hurricane Katrina in 2005, and the university's successful, relatively rapid rebuilding and reopening became an important part of the broader story of New Orleans's post-Katrina institutional recovery across the city's higher education sector. The university's combination of its unique status as the country's only historically Black Catholic university and its nationally leading pre-med and pharmacy placement outcomes has made Xavier one of the most academically significant and distinctive HBCUs in the country.
