Colleges and Schools

Newcomb-Tulane College 

Founded in 2006, the Newcomb-Tulane College (NTC) has administrative oversight of the residential full-time undergraduate student experience and its core curriculum. Newcomb-Tulane College is comprised of the full-time undergraduate programs at the university in architecture, business, liberal arts, public health and tropical medicine, and science and engineering. When an NTC student designates a major, whether that decision is made upon admission or before the end of spring semester of the sophomore year, the student also will be considered a student in the school that houses that major. Thus, students simultaneously will be in the Newcomb-Tulane College and a school. The School of Professional Advancement (SoPA) has administrative oversight of its own undergraduate students and core curriculum. SoPA offers applied learning programs that incorporate both industry-relevant knowledge and a grounding in the liberal arts. 

Schools

As the homes of the academic departments and programs, the schools define the requirements for the school-specific curriculum and are responsible for designing majors, minors, and certificates. For graduating students, the schools also certify completion of academic programs and the school core curriculum for the degree. The schools also deliver graduate and professional education and programs.
