Southeastern Louisiana University offers more than 150 majors, minors, and concentrations in diverse fields such as athletic training, family and consumer sciences, industrial technology, and occupational health and safety. Fully online programs also give learners the option to explore subjects such as criminal justice and nursing, while also taking advantage of the same tutoring and academic support services provided to on-campus learners. In addition to earning satisfactory scores on either the ACT or SAT, freshman applicants must maintain a high school GPA of at least 2.35. Graduate applicants must hold a bachelor's degree, maintain a college GPA of 2.5 or above, and take either the GRE or GMAT, depending on their program. Priority scholarships offered by the university can substantially reduce the overall cost of your education. For example, incoming students with ACT scores of 30 and above pay no tuition or fees and receive a $3,000 annual housing and meal award. The Senator Ben Nevers Scholarship provides up to $6,000 per year to transfer students with a strong record of academic achievement.

Admissions Breakdown
Acceptance Rate Insight
11% of students were accepted during the 2020-2021 school year. Sometimes schools with midrange acceptance rates have higher standards of entry but are still accessible to many students who apply.
Retention Rate Insight
92% of full-time students stayed to continue their studies the following academic year. These students started in Fall 2019 and returned in Fall 2020.
Graduation Rate Insight
86% of students graduated out of all full-time, first-time students who began their studies in Fall 2014. Keep in mind many students who enroll are not typically first-time students, as most are adult learners. Therefore, the number of first-time students is traditionally low.
