Newcomb-Tulane College

What Newcomb-Tulane College does

Newcomb-Tulane College is the undergraduate degree-granting unit of Tulane University, a private research university headquartered at 6823 St. Charles Avenue, New Orleans, Louisiana. The college serves as the academic home for all Tulane undergraduates regardless of their professional school, providing unified oversight across business, science and engineering, architecture, liberal arts, and public health. Its central product is a Core Curriculum that mandates interdisciplinary exposure in writing, formal reasoning, foreign language, historical and literary texts, sciences, the arts, race and inclusion, global perspectives, and service-learning. The college positions itself as supporting students "from convocation to commencement" — a continuous academic-navigation and degree-completion service rather than a standalone for-profit offering.

Beyond the Core Curriculum, the college operates a portfolio of academic and support products: the College Scholars honors program, Research & Fellowships via the Office of Undergraduate Research, Global Education study abroad, ROTC, and Summer School. The support stack includes the Academic Learning & Tutoring Center (ALTC), Academic Success Coaching, Career Services through the Hire Tulane platform, College Advising, First-Year Experience, TU Thrive, and Wave of Support mental-health services. Academic recognition flows through the Dean's List and Dean's Ambassador leadership program, and Academic Integrity Services support faculty and students. Dean Mollye Demosthenidy leads the unit, supported by College Leadership and a Dean's Advisory Council.

Newcomb-Tulane College does not operate as a standalone commercial entity: it has no separate revenue disclosure, no equity, no independent pricing, and no separate legal entity. Funding flows through Tulane University's endowment, tuition, and donations (e.g., the "Give to NTC" giving portal). Distribution and marketing are conducted through the college's official website (college.tulane.edu), the @NewcombTulaneCollege social media channels, email communications for academic deadlines and announcements, and on-campus events including the NTC Events Calendar. Students apply and enroll through Tulane University's main admissions process and attend classes on the single New Orleans campus, making this a domestic, single-geography, in-person academic operation.
