Tulane University
Tulane University, founded in 1834, is the leading private research university in the Deep South, and its uptown New Orleans campus, along with its architecturally distinctive Gibson Hall, gives the university a genuine connection to one of the most culturally distinctive cities in the country. The university's public health school, one of the oldest and most respected in the country, and its business school have each built strong national reputations, and Tulane's tropical medicine program reflects the school's historical strength in public health research tied to New Orleans's specific climate and geography. Tulane's application volume and academic selectivity rose dramatically in the years following Hurricane Katrina's 2005 devastation of New Orleans, as the university's post-storm rebuilding effort, including a newly mandated public service graduation requirement, drew significant renewed national attention and applicant interest. The university's combination of genuine research-university strength in public health and business, alongside its deep integration into New Orleans's distinctive culture and its post-Katrina institutional renewal, has made Tulane one of the more notable examples of a university's academic profile rising substantially in the aftermath of a genuine institutional crisis.
VS
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.
