Welcome to the Louisiana Scholars’ College!
Scholars’ offers low student to teacher ratio and liberal arts style teaching: strong mentoring by faculty, courses that welcome an exchange of ideas and viewpoints, and a commitment to helping students succeed. Scholars’ courses are open to any NSU student and can add an extra dimension to their curriculum that can really set the individual student’s academic work apart.
The core curriculum of the state’s designated honors college combines great books-based courses with courses in mathematics and sciences to provide a strong foundation for more focused study in one of its concentrations or in a traditional major offered at Northwestern State. Scholars’ courses are open to any Northwestern student and can add an extra dimension to any curriculum that can set your academic work apart from others.

About LSC
Scholars' College alum Leigh Gentry Guidry writes about what fellow alums Tori Smith and Jessica Lauren Erskins experienced when Irma hit Sint Maarten.
La. students ride out Hurricane Irma on Caribbean island

Some stayed through Tuesday and could 'see, hear and feel the storm when it hit.'
Louisiana Scholars' College added 2 new photos — with Tori Smith.
Medical students, including Scholars' alum Tori Smith, and faculty from the American University of the Caribbean on Sint Maarten, after the island was assaulted by Irma.
"We made a hospital from our icm labs. Had a plastic surgeon, obgyn, ortho, neuro, psyche, so many rns, emts, general surgeons. Nuts. Pure nuts. We were the only hospital at a point in time and the most functional one on the island. We treated mild case to life and death cases. Amazing learning experience with Some amazing teachers and coworkers. 18-24 hour shift, little sleep, little food, and I would never want to go through this with anyone else than these people. What we did is literally unheard of. More on this to come."
Texas Hurricane Recovery Trip
A large group of NSU students planned to g to Texas over Labor Day to do hurricane recovery work, but the continued flooding with unsafe conditions and lack of housing forced a postponement. But a group will go to the Beaumont area this coming weekend, Sep. 8 (Friday afternoon) through Sunday afternoon, Sep. 10.
Housing and food will be provided through the relief agency, Operation Blessing. Transportation will hopefully be provided for a large part of the group in a van, but students who have vehicles are encouraged to drive and take other students. Your gas expenses will be covered.
The group will begin cleaning out homes that were flooded, including carrying out furniture and other household items, and then tearing out water-soaked walls. Tools will be provided.
Contact Dr. Curt Phifer, trip organizer, at phifer@nsula.edu IMMEDIATELY if you are interested and to receive more trip information. All NSU students, faculty, and staff are welcome, but commitments must be made by Wednesday afternoon to make housing and travel arrangements.
Last year people from all over the US came to Louisiana to help flood victims in the Denham Springs and Baton Rouge area, and just over ten years ago teams came to help Louisianans affected by hurricanes Katrina and Rita. This is our chance to return the favor!
Louisiana Scholars' College shared Northwestern State University's post.
Postponed until September 8-10. NSU is organizing a team to help assist Hurricane Harvey relief. If you're interested in participating: ow.ly/KGiS30eLizq
