About LSU New Orleans LSU New Orleans is the only R2 public research university in New Orleans, Louisiana, and one of just four public colleges in Louisiana to hold that designation. R2 status opens the doors to competitive federal research grants that flow preferentially to classified research universities. It anchors the university’s power to recruit research-active faculty, to sustain doctor programs of national standing, and to signal to businesses and investors that New Orleans possesses the intellectual infrastructure a knowledge economy demands. Located along Lake Pontchartrain in New Orleans, LSU New Orleans’ research excellence and urban relevance provide an opportunity for the institution to become a leading public research partner in one of America’s most exciting and vibrant metropolitan areas. New Orleans has always faced challenges that call for research driven solutions including coastal land loss, educational achievement gaps, affordability, public safety, and workforce shortages. LSU New Orleans can strengthen its research activity as a tool for public problem solving as well as economic impact by leveraging the scale, reputation, infrastructure, and global reach of the LSU enterprise while remaining deeply connected to the city it serves. With more than 5,500 students and the support of approximately 248 faculty serving the College of Liberal Arts & Human Development, The college of Sciences, The Robert A. Savoie College of Engineering, the Henry Berstein College of Business Administration, and six distinct schools, the campus remains committed to honoring its founding vision and continuing to play a critical role in the region. Opened in 1958 on the site of a former U.S. Naval Air Station as the region’s first fully integrated public university, LSU New Orleans was created after years of coordinated efforts from civic leaders and residents who believed that an accessible public institution of higher education was vital to the city’s future. Located only 15 minutes away from downtown and the French Quarter, the university occupies a 195-acre campus in one of the nicest residential areas of the city.Since its first commencement exercises in 1962, the university has conferred more than 80,000 degrees creating an extensive network of Privateer Alumni that includes prominent local leaders in fields such as business, tourism, athletics, government, and academia. The university is also an important catalyst of socio-economic mobility for the region. Its student body includes a significant share of first-generation students, working students, adult learners, and veterans.The institution has grown from a commuter-oriented campus into a comprehensive urban research university with undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral programs in distinctive academic categories tied to the city and region. Its evolution has been inseparable from the story of New Orleans; an internationally recognized city of creativity, resilience, industry, cultural influence, and global connectivity. As one of the most strategically important cities in America, New Orleans’s economy is rooted in legacy sectors such as energy, maritime commerce, tourism, healthcare, and international trade. Recently, the city has expanded its economic portfolio to include areas such as coastal restoration, film and media production, technology, and advanced manufacturing. The city’s strengths are the university’s opportunities. New Orleans needs talent, civic leadership, resilient infrastructure, healthcare innovation, artists, and entrepreneurs.
