The LSU System

The Louisiana State University System is a multi campus, multipurpose system of higher education, accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, encompassing all Louisiana, and exerting a major influence on the economic, social, and cultural life of its citizens.

Law and tradition have assigned the University System a three‑fold purpose:  developing to the highest level the intellectual and professional capacities of its citizens through resident instruction; enriching instruction and establishing new frontiers of knowledge through research and scholarship; and providing all Louisianans with information useful in advancing the state's economy and culture through extension services.

The LSU System is composed of nine major administrative units, each headed by a chancellor, located throughout the state.  Four of these–LSU A&M, the University of New Orleans, LSU at Alexandria, and LSUS–provide undergraduate and graduate instruction.  A two-year campus is located in Eunice.  The LSU Law Center, located on the LSU A&M campus, is a separate division of the LSU System.  The LSU Agricultural Center, with headquarters on LSU A&M campus, administers a system of agricultural experiment stations and the Cooperative Extension Service throughout Louisiana.  The two LSU Health Sciences Centers, in New Orleans and in Shreveport, train physicians and scientists in health care disciplines.  The Pennington Biomedical Research Center promotes healthier lives through research and education in nutrition and preventive medicine.

President of the University System

Dr. John V. Lombardi is the principal executive officer of the System—housed on the LSU A&M campus—and is responsible for the execution of the administrative and educational policies of the Board of Supervisors.
