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.

The Scholars’ College offers a low faculty-to-student ratio, a close-knit community, and supportive faculty that are committed to student success. 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.
