How to Find Undergraduate Admissions Information on Tulane University's Website

Updated

Start at tulane.edu and look for the Undergraduate Admissions link — it appears in the homepage's Academics section, next to the line "Make Way for Your Future at Tulane." From there you can review the academic offering before you apply: Tulane lists over 75 majors and minors, an interdisciplinary core curriculum spanning the humanities, fine arts, social sciences, and sciences, and a first-year TIDES (Tulane Interdisciplinary Experience Seminar) that frames your new home, New Orleans, as a subject of study.

The path from homepage to admissions

  1. Open tulane.edu.
  2. Find the Academics block on the homepage. The heading reads "Make Way for Your Future at Tulane."
  3. Select the Visit Undergraduate Admissions link in that block.
  4. On the admissions pages, use the Quick Links menu for the related items you'll likely need next: Majors & Minors, Graduate Education, Financial Aid, and Life at Tulane.

Expected result: you land on the undergraduate admissions section rather than a general "University Info" or "Account Login" page. If you end up on a login screen, you've followed the wrong link — back up to the Academics block.

The homepage also surfaces current events — for example, an evening with poet Gabrielle Calvocoressi, a Dean's Leaders & Lagniappe Lecture, an archives session on primary sources, and FORESTival — which are useful for timing a visit around something happening on campus.

Context worth knowing as a prospective student

Tulane describes itself through its motto, non sibi sed suis — "not for oneself, but for one's own." The university frames its identity around students who treat challenges as opportunities and work to improve lives locally and globally. One current example of that direction: Tulane has reached a milestone in converting the former Charity Hospital building into a hub for research, innovation, and education, a $500 million project that expands the downtown campus.

For anything not covered on the admissions pages, the site footer carries the practical contacts: Give to Tulane, Medical Center, News, Contact Us, Jobs at Tulane, Email, Gibson Online, Privacy, and Accessibility.
