YOUR MOMENT IS HERE
There is no better moment to be at Lamar University than right now, because we are focused, first and foremost, on your success. We facilitate one-on-one advising and offer tutoring and mentoring programs. We have coaches who help you with everything from navigating course schedules to learning more efficient time management techniques. Additionally, your learning moments here at LU can be enhanced by study abroad opportunities, undergraduate research and co-operative work programs. Because our faculty-to-student radio is one of the lowest in the state, 1 to 19, you will never be a number. At Lamar University, we’re going to know you and help you achieve your distinct goal.
College is more than academics, it’s an experience to be enjoyed. We’re committed to providing a collegial environment. I like Starbucks as much as you, so we have one in the first level of our library, which is a short walk to the hub of student life, the newly renovated Setzer Student Center. Here you’ll discover hundreds of student clubs and organizations. At our state-of-the-art recreation center, you’ll find all sorts of intramural sports with everything from cricket to dodgeball. Experience college life by tailgating before football games. Football is just one of our 17 NCAA Division I men’s and women’s sports competing in the Southland Conference. Join a sorority or fraternity. The opportunities for college moments, experiences you’ll never forget and friendships you make for a lifetime await you at LU.
We look forward to helping you make the most of your college moments here at Lamar University.
Best wishes,
