Research is what sets us apart. From the living urban laboratory of New Orleans, to scientific investigations that spring from our state-of-the-art facilities, Tulane University is an internationally renowned research institution. The Carnegie Foundation recognized Tulane's excellence in designating it a prestigious Carnegie I Research Institution, an honor reserved for the nation's top research universities.

In addition, gaining valuable research experience with senior-level professors isn't a long-range goal for students; at Tulane, undergraduates can become research assistants as sophomores and even freshmen, working alongside some of the nation's foremost scholars. That's the kind of experience that graduate and professional schools look for, and that's the kind of experience that only an institution like Tulane can offer.
