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
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.
