Southern University at New Orleans is a member of the Southern University System, with two campuses located just seven miles from downtown New Orleans. The school promotes upward mobility for both traditional and nontraditional students through a finely-tuned curriculum, and it has affirmed its commitment to institutional improvement through its five-year Quality Enhancement Plan. The School of Social Work is one of the top programs of its kind in the south, and it offers a two-year practicum with field placements within the community. The Criminal Justice program has similarly earned a widespread reputation for its work in prevention through the study of past behavior. The Small Business Development & Management Institute is an incubator within the College of Business and Public Administration that provides hands-on experience with local businesses and offers direct pathways to internships. The Interdisciplinary Studies bachelor’s degree program is among the school’s most popular majors, providing a broad, adaptive liberal education that can incorporate courses from more specialized curriculums. Evening and weekend programs are available for those needing flexibility, and online classes further the accessibility of a SUNO education for working students.
