Established as a public medical college in 1834, converted to a comprehensive college in 1847, and finally privatized in 1884, Tulane University is a private, nonsectarian, research university located in uptown New Orleans. The 110-acre campus is all southern charm, from its oak-lined walkways to the historic buildings which have been so lovingly repaired and restored after the catastrophe of Hurricane Katrina.
The university currently hosts a few more than 13,000 students, spread across 10 Schools: Liberal Arts, Law, Medicine, Business, Public Health and Tropical Medicine, Social Work, Science and Engineering, Architecture, Continuing Studies, and Newcomb-Tulane, which is the undergraduate college.
Tulane has 13 residence halls to meet the housing needs of each and every freshman and sophomore. Lowerclassmen are required to live on campus.
Tulane is also the largest employer in New Orleans, with over 14,400 employees. It is ranked #51 among American universities by U.S. News & World Report.
Tulane University is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.
