Louisiana Public Colleges and Universities

Four-Year Public Colleges and Universities in Louisiana

Nowhere is this dichotomy more apparent than in New Orleans. Although the recent hurricane has damaged much of the "Big Easy," in time, it will most certainly regain its former luster. At which point, you will be able to take advantage of the bustling nightlife, delicious Cajun food, and rich multicultural history. If you live outside of the city limits, you can take advantage of the lazy afternoons, southern hospitality, and scenic landscapes.

The State of Louisiana administers its own system of higher education, known as public colleges or universities, just like local governments and cities operate their own public K-12 school systems for local residents.

Financial support for Louisiana public colleges and universities comes directly from the state government, from tax dollars and other revenue the state collects in lieu of private endowments. Louisiana public colleges and universities may also receive funds from the federal government and private sources, but in many cases the state is the primary source of support of public colleges.
