Welcome to the Louisiana Scholars’ College!
Established by the Louisiana Board of Regents for Higher Education in 1987, the Louisiana Scholars’ College serves as the state’s selective-admission honors college of the liberal arts and sciences. Its mission is to provide highly motivated students with a rigorous, customized honors education firmly grounded in the liberal arts and sciences.

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.This was such amazing! It is evident how special all these students are to you all and that touched my heart and especially thank those of you who taught and worked with my son for being more than just professors as a parent that means the world!
Congratulations to this year’s Scholars’ grads! 🎉
Congratulations!!!
Tracy Silver

Scholars grad Dr. Alex Billioux was with Gov. Edwards in the White House’s Oval Office today meeting with Pres. Trump and Drs. Fauci and Birx. You can see him speaking at around the 3 min. mark in the video.
Gov. Edwards, President Trump discuss testing, re-opening Louisiana’s economy during private meeting

Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards announced he will travel to Washington, D.C. Wednesday, April 29 to meet with President Donald Trump to discuss the state’s response to COVID-19.Politics aside, I imagine being in that room is amazing. I only briefly had 1 class with Alex back in Fall 2001 but he seemed like a nice guy so it has always been cool seeing his success.
Taylor Orgeron (2013, Humanities and Social Thought) was awarded the James Olney Distinguished Dissertation Award from Louisiana State University for her dissertation, “Intertwined Markings: Metafiction in the Digital Age.” Dr. Orgeron is an Assistant Professor of English at Southwestern Oklahoma State University. #scholarsgrad #demonscholars

Jared Parks’ thesis is featured by KALB News
NSU student project examines misinformation about COVID-19 virus

An NSU student addresses the issue of false information during the coronavirus pandemic.Senior Thesis Spotlight. Jade Duthu (Double majors in Liberal Arts with a concentration in Fine and Performing Arts and Theatre with a concentration in Performance and Directing). Title: Theatre Remains Relevant: Identifying Political Propaganda in Plays. “The focus of the topic is taking political propaganda theory and creating an analytical guide that can be applied to plays, which was tested using Richard III.” #demonscholars
Senior Thesis Spotlight. Nickolas Juneau (Foreign Language (French) with minors in Global Studies and Mathematics). Title: The Continuation of the Revolutionary Tradition in France's Protest Culture: The Example of May 1968. “The revolutionary tradition refers to a set of images, language, and actions from France's revolutionary past which are alluded to by protestors during May 1968. My thesis concludes that, through these allusions, protestors justify their taking to the streets by carrying on the tradition of their glorified past. Further examples of its continuation can be seen in France even today in popular demonstrations like the Gilets Jaunes protests.” #demonscholars
Senior Thesis Spotlight. Maddison Benge (HST and Psychogy). Title: Cross-Cultural Examination of Autism Spectrum Disorder Diagnosis and Treatment. “My thesis explored the disparities between high-income countries and low- income countries in the ASD diagnostic and treatment process. This examination of economic, cultural, and support characteristics dichotomizing the country categories may be influential in promoting inclusivity of marginalized groups and encourage awareness and more effective practices pertaining to ASD. Overall, my research brought valuable insight into a topic that is integral in my future career as a school psychologist. I hope with the knowledge I have gained I can aid in dissipating the gap in research and awareness about ASD and encourage the view that those with ASD are different, not less.” #demonscholars
So proud of you Maddison Benge you did absolutely amazing defending your thesis ❤️
