Dean’s Welcome Letter

I am confident that you will find a remarkable array of majors and programs of study which can be combined into an almost limitless selection of options. Whatever your chosen major or degree, you will experience an education second to none that provides a wealth of opportunities and challenges.

Tulane is a research intensive university whose faculty are world leaders and experts in their chosen fields, and unlike most research intensive institutions, I can confidently say that the faculty here are dedicated to your education as undergraduates.

The college is here to serve you and help you get the most out of your education. I hope that you find this website useful. It provides an overview of the various units that fall under the college’s purview, explains our services, and provides points of contact for further assistance or information.
