Tulane University is a private, nonsectarian, coeducational research university located in New Orleans, Louisiana. Founded as a public medical college in 1834, the school grew into a full university and was eventually privatized under the endowments of Paul Tulane and Josephine Louise Newcomb in the late 19th century. It is the only American university that has been converted from a public institution to a private institution.
Tulane is a major American research university, and is one of the highest ranked institutions of higher learning in the Deep South according to college rankings by U.S. News & World Report. It is also considered by many to be among the group of schools termed the "Southern Ivies". Particularly noted are its programs in architecture, international development, philosophy, political economy, Latin American studies (ranked second in the country by the Gourman Report) and economics, as well as its graduate schools of law, business and medicine, which each rank in the top tier of their respective rankings. For instance, the law school's Environmental law and Sports law programs are among the best nationwide, and its Maritime law program is widely considered the best in the world.
