International Admission
New Orleans is unlike any other city in America. The food, music, architecture and culture drive students to Tulane from across the United States and many other countries around the world. A diverse student body not only enriches the knowledge of each student, it also provides an opportunity for new experiences while receiving an unmatched education in one of the world’s unique cities.
New Orleans is, and always has been, an international city. Founded by the French, governed by Spain, and purchased by the U.S., our cultural roots are strongly African and Haitian. New Orleans is a port city, populated by waves of immigrants from Ireland, Germany, Italy, China, India, Central and South America and Vietnam. Located at the mouth of the Mississippi and on the Gulf of Mexico, New Orleans is also a gateway to Latin America.

A year ago, Enric Martinez was spending time with his friends at the University of Michigan, where he’s double-majoring in math and statistics.
Now a senior, he has one class left to complete his degree – a class he’s taking from his home in Barcelona, Spain, an ocean away from campus, his professor and his friends.
“It feels really bad,” Martinez said. “One of my goals when I came to UM was I really hoped that my family could come to the states and see me graduate. That was a moment I was really looking forward to. We’re not gonna have that anymore.”
