The Louisiana Association of Independent Colleges & Universities (LAICU) is a collective organization representing ten nonprofit private colleges and universities in Louisiana. These institutions offer a diverse range of programs to over 26,000 students, providing a personalized educational experience with small class sizes and highly-qualified faculty. LAICU members prioritize affordability and accessibility, offering grants and scholarships to ensure that most students pay less than the published tuition. Graduates from LAICU institutions are well-prepared for their careers and have a high acceptance rate into graduate or professional schools.
LAICU is committed to promoting the public good and contributing to Louisiana's higher education sector. As an integral part of the state's economic engine, these independent colleges and universities play a vital role in shaping critical thinkers with strong social, ethical, and reasoning skills. With a focus on teaching excellence, LAICU institutions have earned a sterling reputation, making their graduates highly sought after by employers. Through the Louisiana Independent College Fund (LICF), LAICU provides student scholarship aid and enrichment programs, further supporting their mission of making college education accessible to all.
