Tulane University

United States

Overview

Tulane University offers what students around the globe long for, a top-tier learning experience that educates the whole person - intellectually, culturally, and socially. The 191-year-old institution teaches students to love knowledge for its own sake, while preparing them to use that knowledge to tackle the most pressing issues of our time. Tulane is a driver of global-impacting research, discovery, and creativity. Its researchers are leaders in countless fields, from developing treatments and vaccines for the deadliest infectious diseases to using virtual reality in combating addiction. Tulane scientists are also protecting their hometown, the city of New Orleans, and cities worldwide through their work in wetland restoration and preservation and in helping coastal communities adapt to environmental change. In addition, Tulane is home to some of the country's most influential authors and thinkers and is renowned for its studies of Maya and other ancient civilizations. With a unique history, location, culture, academic structure and "right-sized" population built for collaboration, Tulane is able to break down the silos and cross boundaries that have traditionally separated academic fields and sometimes thwarted true innovation. As a major research institution, Tulane operates on multiple campuses but is still a university with small class sizes and one-on-one mentoring relationships between students and faculty. Tulane is located in one of the most culturally diverse and environmentally significant regions of the world. Founded in 1834 as the Medical College of Louisiana with the goal of combating tropical diseases, the university has long been a hub of innovation and interdisciplinary learning and discovery. Tulane is currently embarking on a historic expansion downtown that will place more of its researchers and inventors in the heart of New Orleans' BioDistrict where, through its newly established Innovation Institute, it will drive research-based entrepreneurship throughout the city and region. As the only private national research university in the Gulf South, Tulane embraces the region's distinctive culture, creativity, and social challenges as inspiration for its research, teaching, and public service.
