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.
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.

To all our Scholars' family, be safe and be well. You are in our hearts and thoughts.
To our alums who are teachers, we understand how difficult your work is right now, made me difficult because you care about the quality of what you do and you care even more about the ones you teach.
To our alums in careers/businesses which are hurting. We think of you as we try to support businesses here that are unique to the town that was your home for a few years. We also believe in your ability to think and work your way through such a difficult time. We believe in you now even more than we believed in you as students.
To our alums in health care. You are our heroes. We worry about you in such a stressful time, not because of any doubts about your ability or dedication, but because we know you will give everything to help others. But more than worry, we are proud of everything you are doing and awed by your courage and caring. You are our heroes.
To all the current students, this is a tough time with many more challenges than you could have anticipated. You are having to learn in a new way. Be patient with yourself and others. Ask questions. We will all do our best for you as teachers, advisors, and the Scholars' family. We are just an email, text message, phone call, messenger away. And we will "see" you in classes, even if we are not in the same space. And never forget,
Olim doctus, Semper doctus -
Once a Scholar, Always a Scholar.

#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.🙏
What a good looking young man! Congratulations on starting a great career!! God bless you!!
