SLU provided a very standard college experience for me but their sciences departments are full of very passionate and caring professors. Their chemistry departments on the other hand tend to have less favorable professors that seem to not care if you fisl their class.

Although I attended SELU during the height of COVID (August 2020-May 2022), I am still so thankful for the time I spent there, and the education I received. The faculty and staff within my department worked diligently with students, made sure our needs were met, and were some of the kindest individuals I have ever had the pleasure of working with. During my time, I ad to complete an internship in order to graduate, and my internship ended up turning into my full time career. Had I not been at SELU,... Read More

I LOVE SLU! SMALL TOWN FEEL WHILE STILL BEING A UNIVERSITY AND GETTING THE BEST EDUCATION. SMALL CLASSES MAKE IT EASY TO GET ONE ON ONE TIME WITH THE CURRICULUM. BEING OFF ON FRIDAYS IS A HUGEEEEE PLUS! LOVE EVERYTHING AB SLU! THE CAMPUS IS BEAUTIFUL AND THE PEOPLE ARE EVEN BETTER!

Southeastern Louisiana University is a highly underrated haven for academia. Being a smaller university, there is more opportunity to be recognized as an individual and not just a number. The faculty and staff all genuinely care about the students who attend, and they want to help students succeed in any way possible.

When I lived in Louisiana, Southeastern Louisiana University (or Selu) was the college that fit me best. Southeastern is in a town between New Orleans, and the state capital, Baton Rouge. Although Southeastern was considered a commuter school, I met some of my best friends there. The students and locals I interacted with on and off campus were polite and embodied the spirit of southern charm. As a psychology major, I was able to build rapport with my professors. If you are looking for a university... Read More

Southeastern has had one of the most renowned education programs in the state. The professors were willing to go out of their way to provide assistance to their students, but in the same breath, they always held students to a high standard. My brother went to a prestigious university in New Orleans and graduated in music education. His content knowledge was very strong, but for the first three years of teaching, my brother struggled with aspects of classroom management (discipline, withitness, rapport,... Read More

Southeastern is a great school with knowledgeable staff that will help you with your goals. I have been to LSU, and BRCC, and once I came to Southeastern, I knew that it was the place for me. Southeastern has the professionalism of a full-blown university, but the simplicity of a community college. Although I did not personally take any, I do not remember seeing any freshman/sophomore classes with the size of a university like LSU (close to a hundred people in a classroom!!) The vast majority of... Read More

I enjoyed school. I wish I had continued while I was at the point in my life where I did not have responsibilities. I also would try without student loans.

I have no complaints about SLU. I received a rigorous, well-rounded education. My master's degree program in Communication Sciences and Disorders was the top in the state and was very selective. I was very prepared for the workforce upon graduation.

Degree: Criminal Justice
The curriculum for Southeastern's criminal justice program is closely related to their sociology degree. Many of the courses were seminar/discussion based rather than lecture. Because of this, as well as completing a minor in sociology, I can say I am well prepared for my future as a law student. Most of the faculty, including the department head, were helpful in guidance after graduation regarding employment. Overall quality of teaching by all of my professors was excellent.

The classes were small and professors were more than willing to go above and beyond to help. The students were also there to learn, which always helps make the program more successful. There were many out of class projects to help relate in class lessons to real world activities. I would definitely recommend this program at Southeastern.

The degree I received did not help me in anyway in my career. I am actually damaged from the loans. I need to get a masters degree in a different major to do well in my chosen career field. I am currently an office worker. I want to me a controller in my company. I will not be able to achieve this goal with out a masters degree.

Degree: Nursing
The nursing program at SELU is amazing. Not only do I feel I was a prepared nurse for the profession, but I feel it helped me grow and mature as an adult. The classes are not easy and do require some rigorous studying; however, at the end of the coursework you feel like you truly earned your degree. I would recommend this university to anyone looking for a great school and a great future.

My overall experience of the Education Program at Southeastern was magnificent! Your class schedule throughout the program prepares you tremendously for your teaching career. The faculty and staff are always available for advice and helpful tips. My college career was truly a wonderful experience and I would go back if I had to do it again!

Love this program. The faculty and staff are amazing. Small class sizes which makes it a better learning environment. High employment rate post graduation. Great networking opportunities as well. The only con I have is I have to commute 45 min - 1 hour but that's not really a program issue. LOVE IT.
