University of New Orleans

A Commitment to New Orleans and Beyond

Since its founding, UNO has been committed to diversity and inclusion. In 1958, the University of New Orleans opened its doors as the first fully integrated public university in the South. For nearly 60 years, we have not strayed from that vision. The University has educated students from all 64 Louisiana parishes, all 50 states, and more than 130 countries, bringing together a variety of talented and motivated students so that they may learn, interact and pursue their career goals.

The University of New Orleans is a major business driver in metro New Orleans, generating a total economic impact of $470.5 million for metropolitan New Orleans in the 2014-15 fiscal year. As a global community asset, we offer a wide array of relevant, undergraduate and graduate academic programs and world-class research opportunities. We proudly contribute to the industry, culture and economy of the New Orleans region and beyond.

Nationally Ranked

Our students come here for a number of reasons, but on the top of that list is the high quality education we provide. We're proud to be named one of the nation's best colleges by The Princeton Review, Forbes, U.S. News & World Report and one of the top 1,000 universities in the world by the Center for World University Rankings. We are also classified by the Carnegie Foundation as a Doctoral University with Higher Research Activity, one of only two in the state of Louisiana. The University's rankings are a testament to the students we attract and the quality of our faculty.
