Features:

The forerunner to Tulane University – the Medical College of Louisiana – was founded in 1834 as the Deep South’s second medical school. Tulane was established as a private university in 1884 when the public University of Louisiana was reorganized and named in honor of benefactor Paul Tulane, a wealthy merchant who bequeathed more than $1 million to endow a university for the city where he had earned his fortune. Tulane University is one of the country’s leading private research institutions. It is home to 11 schools and colleges offering undergraduate, graduate and professional degrees in architecture, business, engineering, law, liberal arts and sciences, medicine, public health and tropical medicine and social work.
