The University of New Orleans

General information

The University of New Orleans is rooted in the culture of a city that won't quit. We're an economic driver in a hometown that propels us. Our 42,000 alumni shape the professional landscape, playing a significant role in the renaissance of New Orleans--a unique American city that is the new standard for reinvention. We've grown from a small, regional campus to the only public Carnegie-ranked institution in New Orleans. But we're not resting on our laurels. Far from it. We continually push ourselves to deliver unique opportunities and top-rated programs relevant to growing industries--from urban studies to our hotel, restaurant and tourism program to accounting programs and more. We have one of the most well-known naval architecture and marine engineering programs and one of the top film programs in the nation. We're equipping graduates with a 21st Century skill set and serious momentum. We foster a welcoming culture that finds insights in individual differences and builds a new future from our shared history. Our campus is the playing field for people who know that the UNO experience is a team effort and not one for spectators. It's a place that pulls you in and lifts you up. Relationships define the UNO experience--whether it's the mentorship of a professor leading a team on a research project, the friendship of a roommate in the residence hall or the support of a teammate in the heat of competition. You'll see it everywhere on our engaged campus--even more, you'll experience it. And the result is an education in how you can be the best version of you. Our partnerships with alumni, businesses and other organizations create exclusive opportunities for our students who are emerging leaders in their fields. For our region and beyond, it means UNO will continue to be the institution that champions ideas, brings the best minds together and lets nothing stand in the way of progress.
