Welcome to the System Office of the Vice President for Academic and Student Affairs. We thank you for your interest and extend our invitation to you to explore offerings of the Southern University System (SUS) and links to our five campuses. The SU System is the nation’s only Historically Black 1890 Land Grant University System. We are currently making positive progress in recapturing and growing our enrollment in spite of the disastrous hurricanes of 2005.

With strong devotion, dedication and a commitment to excellence we are resolved to remaining the largest HBCU in the nation that offers the highest standards of education. We are not only experiencing growth but also attracting better-prepared students in light of the newly adopted selective admissions criteria at our Baton Rouge campus.

Our academic enterprise is thriving as we are involved in many initiatives that enhance pedagogical experiences, program review, assessment and accountability. Presently, the accreditation rate for all Board of Regents’ mandatory accreditable academic programs within the System is 97%. The SU System campuses’ accreditation rates continue to remain at a high level with each year reflecting improvements. The System continues to work vigorously to accomplish 100% accreditation of all mandatory programs. We believe that such attainment is one way that allows us to ensure academic quality of the programs we are offering our students.
