Southeastern Louisiana University College Portrait

With 56 undergraduate and 21 graduate programs, including a doctorate in educational leadership, outstanding faculty, exciting study abroad opportunities, generous scholarship packages, and a vibrant campus life, Southeastern offers students a great educational experience at a reasonable cost. As Louisiana’s third largest university, Southeastern maintains a student-centered atmosphere. Programs are nationally accredited, and faculty includes nationally recognized experts who mentor students not just in the classroom, but through through hands-on research, creative endeavors, and service-learning projects.. Employers praise the real-world preparation of graduates, while the University continually strives to give back to the community by enhancing the cultural and economic quality of life throughout Louisiana’s fast-growing north shore.

Southeastern offers students a wide range of academic, social and cultural activities with more than 100 university sponsored organizations. Southeastern contributes to campus and community quality of life through our Fanfare arts festival, year-long programming at the Columbia Theatre for the Performing Arts, and fun leadership and wellness events sponsored by the Campus Activities Board and the Pennington Student Activity Center. Division I athletic teams compete in the Southland Conference in 16 Division I men’s and women’s sports. Focusing on success for all students, the Center for Student Excellence provides a strong foundation for freshmen, assisting with career exploration, tutoring and supplemental instruction. For upper level students, mentoring programs enhance the traditional advising experience, as do opportunities to work one-on-one with faculty in research and creative activities – from investigating the West Nile virus to creating musical compositions.
