Dillard University, Louisiana's oldest historically Black university, is a private four-year liberal art faith-based university. Located in New Orleans, we offer 22 bachelor's degrees in the disciplines of Business, Health, and Wellness, Humanities, Nursing, STEM, and Social Sciences. Our diverse student body is comprised of students from 33 states and 12 countries.

Dillard University attracts the leaders, thinkers, and artists of tomorrow, and equips them with the tools they need to imagine and build a better world for everyone. Our students do not acquire knowledge alone; they develop compassion and high ethical standards alongside it. They think critically, but they do not stop at thinking; they act to turn their dreams into reality. In doing the work they are called to do, they do not choose the easy path over the right path. Instead, their commitment to excellence and integrity makes their work resilient by inspiring others to join their cause. Our motto, “Ex Fide, Fortis," means "From Faith, Strength." It is this faith that keeps our vision clear, our hearts full, and our actions confident and deliberate, as together we transform the world into the world that it should be.
