    2021-2022 1 THE UNIVERSITY Mission Statement Tulane’s purpose is to create, communicate and conserve knowledge in order to enrich the capacity of individuals, organizations, and communities to think, to learn, and to act and lead with integrity and wisdom. Tulane pursues this mission by cultivating an environment that focuses on learning and the generation of new knowledge; by expecting and rewarding teaching and research of extraordinarily high quality and impact; and by fostering community-building initiatives as well as scientific, cultural and social understanding that integrate with and strengthen learning and research. This mission is pursued in the context of the unique qualities of our location in New Orleans and our continual aspiration to be a truly distinctive international university. History Tulane University, one of the foremost independent national research universities in the country, is ranked among the top quartile of the nation’s most highly selective universities. With ten schools and colleges that range from the liberal arts and sciences through a full spectrum of professional schools, Tulane gives its students a breadth of choice equaled by few other independent universities in the country. Tulane University’s ten academic divisions enroll approximately 8,000 undergraduates and about 5,000 graduate and professional students. The schools of Architecture, Business, Liberal Arts, Public Health and Tropical Medicine, and Science and Engineering offer both undergraduate and graduate programs. Other divisions include the schools of Law, Medicine, Social Work and Professional Advancement. Tulane traces it origins back to the founding of the Medical College of Louisiana, the Deep South’s first medical school, in 1834.

  • Graduation Rates at Auburn and SREB Peers
    Graduation Rates at Auburn and SREB Peers A comparison of recent graduation rates at Auburn University and its SREB peer institutions places Auburn at the median and second quartile for 2004-2006 reporting years (see Fig 1 for the distribution of completion rates; see Table 1 for the list of peer institutions). Differences in graduation rate by gender and ethnicity appear across the SREB peer group, including Auburn. Women are more likely than men to graduate (see Fig 2); again, a comparison with peer institutions places Auburn at the median and second quartile. Black students are less likely than students generally to graduate. Auburn’s graduation rates for black students are in the second quartile in 2004 and 2005 and in the lowest quartile in 2006 (see Fig 3). Across the SREB, Asian students are more likely to graduate than students generally. However, at Auburn graduation rates for Asian students are lower than for students generally and place in the lowest quartile for 2004 and 2005 and in the second quartile for 2006 (see Fig 4). This brief comparison demonstrates that Auburn does not outperform the middle point for its peers and calls for a more detailed analysis of six-year graduation rates at Auburn.
