New Orleans

The opportunity to study in New Orleans, one of the nation’s most historic cities, has attracted students from across the country as well as abroad. Often considered the northern tip of the Caribbean, New Orleans has been a center of commerce and cultural exchange between Europeans, Africans, Native Americans, and Anglo-Americans for nearly three hundred years. Despite the destruction wrought by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the cultural and historical life of the city remains vibrant. Both professors and students recognize their important role in promoting the history of this unique city and supporting its distinctive culture.
