What began as a dream more than 136 years ago is today a living legacy of determination, commitment, and success.

The Southern University and A&M College System is the only historically black university system in America. The System has a diverse enrollment of more than 12,000 students with locations in Louisiana’s capital city of Baton Rouge, New Orleans, and Shreveport.

With a strong foundation, a proven record of achievement, and a fresh vision for the future, Southern University’s charge to advance the mission of its founders’ remains at the heart of our administrators, faculty, students, and alumni.
