Welcome to the Louisiana Scholars’ College!
The Scholars’ College is the state-designated honors college of Louisiana. It is unique among academic institutions in the state, and possibly even in the nation. It’s great-books based curriculum provides a firm grounding in the liberal arts, including the sciences, mathematics, and foreign languages.
Students may pursue a traditional major or an interdisciplinary concentration in Classical Studies, Scientific Inquiry, Fine and Performing Arts, Humanities and Social Thought, Foreign Languages, or Philosophy, Politics, and Economics.

Most of its classes are taught seminar-style in which ideas are exchanged in an open and supportive environment. There are also opportunities for internships, undergraduate research, and study abroad.

#scholarsgrad Paxson Guest (2015: Philosophy, Politics, and Law) graduated from LSU Law School in 2018 (cum laude). He was a law clerk for the Honorable Maurice Hicks, Jr., Chief Judge of the United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana. He is now an associate attorney at Cook, Yancey, King & Galloway law firm. Paxson says his favorite Texts and Traditions book was The Death of Ivan Ilyich by Leo Tolstoy: “At the time we read this book in T&T, I knew that I would be going to law school and ultimately pursuing a legal career. That may be why The Death of Ivan Ilyich hit home. The novella is about a man in the legal profession who becomes terminally ill and is forced to come to terms with his mortality. Ivan realizes that, despite having a family and co-workers, he is dying alone. I saw the book as a cautionary tale about living an inauthentic life - a life solely concerned with status and wealth at the expense of personal relationships. I found the story to be moving and even read the book again in my third year of law school.”
Wow! So happy for you all. Quit a young man. May God bless and direct all he sets his hand to.🙏

NATCHITOCHES – Northwestern State's professional football legacy extended into a new realm Tuesday afternoon.#scholarsgrad Taylor Orgeron (2013, Humanities and Social Thought) received her Ph.D. in English from LSU in 2019. She is now an Asst. Professor of English at Southwestern Oklahoma State University. In response to the question how did Scholars prepare you, she says: “Every time I was assigned to lead a discussion group in graduate school, present a paper at an academic conference, or engage with a problem through methods that crossed disciplinary lines, I thought back on how the Scholars courses I took and the critical thinking skills I acquired would help lead me to success.” About her favorite Scholars course, she says: “I really loved the Text & Traditions sequence,...it laid the foundation for so many other lessons and experiences. The ideas we discussed about texts like the Epic of Gilgamesh and The Iliad, are the same ideas I grappled with throughout my studies, and in my research today.”
Congrats! And what a great, honest sentiment. Class of 2007 here, and I, too, frequently look back on my time at Scholars’ and the profound impact it had on me. I’m a better reader, writer, and overall person because of my experiences at Scholars’.
Congrats hard work never goes unnoticed.
❤️❤️❤️
Congratulations Taylor!!!
Awesome congratulations Taylor
