Delgado Community College

What Delgado Community College does

Delgado Community College is a public, open-admissions community college founded in 1921/1922 and headquartered at 615 City Park Avenue in New Orleans, Louisiana, with a second West Bank campus. It is a member of the Louisiana Community and Technical College System (LCTCS) and is regionally accredited by SACSCOC to award associate degrees and certificates, serving traditional students, adult learners, and workforce development candidates across the Gulf South. The college offers more than two dozen programs across nursing (ranked #1 in Louisiana by College Factual), allied health, business, STEM, liberal arts, construction, and maritime studies, with five attendance modalities — face-to-face, online, virtual, hybrid face-to-face, and hybrid virtual — delivered primarily through the Canvas learning management system.

The technology stack is built on standard enterprise SaaS: Canvas LMS for instruction, Microsoft 365 (free to students and staff with 1TB OneDrive and 50GB email), ServiceNow for IT service management, Zoom and Microsoft Teams for communication, Honorlock and ProctorU for AI- and human-monitored online exam proctoring, Bartleby for 24/7 tutoring, and LinkedIn Learning for supplemental courses. The technology function is managed by the Office of Information Technology (OIT) and the Instructional Technology, Support, and Professional Development (ITSPD) department, with a native mobile app and accessibility compliance (Level Access, WCAG, ADA).

Revenue is generated primarily through tuition (~$4,078 annual average, roughly one-third the Louisiana four-year average), supplemented by state appropriations and federal grants. Workforce development partnerships with industry — including BioMADE (NSF-ATE $510,000 biomanufacturing curriculum, 2023) and Veolia (environmental internship program, 2025) — diversify funding and align curriculum with regional labor demand. Customer concentration is broad at the student level but Moderate overall given reliance on state appropriations and project-based federal grants.
