FAFSA earnings check
: Not flaggedTulane University of Louisiana does not trigger the FAFSA's "lower earnings" notice. Its graduates' median earnings four years after completing were $77,845, above the $34,635 median for high school graduates aged 25 to 34 nationally. The Department uses the national figure for a college that mostly enrolls out-of-state students or operates in several states.
This is one figure for the whole institution, not for any program: earnings differ by credential and field. It covers graduates who completed in 2017-18 and 2018-19, received federal aid, and were working and not enrolled when earnings were measured in 2022 and 2023, in January 2026 dollars. The Department says the notice is informational only: it does not change aid eligibility. Source: U.S. Department of Education, FSA Data Center, March 2026 release.

Academics
Studying online: a substantial share study entirely online
In Fall 2023, 1,743 of Tulane University of Louisiana's 13,078 students (13%) were enrolled entirely at a distance. A further 2,981 (23%) took at least one distance course alongside in-person study.
Distance-education figures count STUDENTS enrolled in Fall 2023, not programs on offer. "Exclusively at a distance" means a student took only distance courses that term. A college with few or no such students may still run online courses or an online degree, so a low figure is not evidence that online study is unavailable, and a high one is not a judgement of quality either way.

Frequently asked questions
About Tulane University of Louisiana
Built from CampusPin profile data. Always verify final admissions, cost, financial aid, and program details with the institution before applying. See our data methodology and data dictionary.
- Where is Tulane University of Louisiana located?
- Tulane University of Louisiana is located in New Orleans, LA, in the United States.
- What type of institution is Tulane University of Louisiana?
- Tulane University of Louisiana is a private university based in LA. CampusPin classifies institutions as either four-year universities or two-year community colleges, with control labeled public or private.
- What is the acceptance rate at Tulane University of Louisiana?
- The most recently reported acceptance rate at Tulane University of Louisiana is approximately 14% (IPEDS, applicants for fall 2024). Acceptance rate signals selectivity but does not predict any individual applicant's outcome and is not a measure of school quality. CampusPin reports the federally-published value; verify the current cycle with the institution.
- What is the tuition at Tulane University of Louisiana?
- Tulane University of Louisiana's published in-state tuition is approximately $68,678 per year (IPEDS, charges for academic year 2024-25). This is the published price before financial aid; the net price most students actually pay is typically lower. Verify the current academic-year tuition with the institution before applying.
- How many students attend Tulane University of Louisiana?
- Tulane University of Louisiana reports total enrollment of approximately 13,310 students (undergraduate plus graduate) (IPEDS, fall 2024 enrollment). Total enrollment is a useful sizing signal, see the institutional profile for additional breakdowns when available.
- How much does Tulane University of Louisiana actually cost after financial aid?
- The average net price at Tulane University of Louisiana is approximately $39,949 per year. Net price is the total cost of attendance minus grants and scholarships that never have to be repaid, so it is what students actually paid rather than the published sticker price. What families pay varies with income: students from families earning under $30,000 paid about $16,126 on average, and those from families earning $110,000 or more about $56,667. These are averages for students who received federal aid in a prior cohort, not a quote for any individual family. Run the institution's own Net Price Calculator for a figure specific to you.
- What is the graduation rate at Tulane University of Louisiana?
- Tulane University of Louisiana reports a graduation rate of approximately 86% (IPEDS, Graduation Rates 2024 collection: 4-year cohort 2018, 2-year cohort 2021). This measures the share of a prior entering cohort who completed their degree within the federal tracking window. It reflects who enrolls as much as what the institution does, so it is not on its own a measure of teaching quality, and it is not comparable across institutions serving very different students.
- How much student debt do graduates of Tulane University of Louisiana have?
- Students who borrowed at Tulane University of Louisiana left with a median of approximately $20,500 in federal loans, and about 21% of students took federal loans at all. Both numbers matter: a median describes only the students who borrowed, so it reads very differently at a school where most students borrow than at one where few do. Federal loans only, so private and parent borrowing are not included.
- How much do graduates of Tulane University of Louisiana earn?
- Median earnings approximately ten years after entry are $63,268 for students who received federal financial aid at Tulane University of Louisiana. This reflects the mix of programs the institution offers and the students who enroll, not the effect of attending, and it covers aid recipients rather than all graduates.
- How should I verify final details about Tulane University of Louisiana?
- CampusPin compiles institutional data from public datasets like IPEDS and the College Scorecard, plus institutional websites and editorial review. Before applying, paying a deposit, or making a final decision, confirm admissions requirements, current tuition, financial aid, deadlines, and program details directly with Tulane University of Louisiana.
- How much do Finance graduates from Tulane University of Louisiana earn?
- Tulane University of Louisiana's bachelor's graduates in Finance earned a median $129,850 four years after graduating, 56% above the $83,343 national median for the same program (2017-19 graduates, measured 2022-23, College Scorecard). One year after graduating, a later class (2018-20 graduates, measured 2020-21) earned a median $77,806; the two figures describe different graduates, not one class's growth. Graduates who borrowed took out a median $21,250 in federal loans at this college (about $225 a month on a 10-year plan).
- How much do Management Science graduates from Tulane University of Louisiana earn?
- Tulane University of Louisiana's master's graduates in Management Science earned a median $122,230 four years after graduating, about the same as the $124,807 national median for the same program (2017-19 graduates, measured 2022-23, College Scorecard). One year after graduating, a later class (2018-20 graduates, measured 2020-21) earned a median $76,946; the two figures describe different graduates, not one class's growth. Graduates who borrowed took out a median $73,344 in federal loans at this college (about $834 a month on a 10-year plan).
- Which programs at Tulane University of Louisiana have the highest graduate earnings?
- Among the 20 programs at Tulane University of Louisiana with a federal earnings figure from at least 30 graduates, the highest medians four years after graduating were Finance, bachelor's ($129,850); Business Administration, master's ($124,014); and Management Science, master's ($122,230) (2017-19 graduates, measured 2022-23, College Scorecard). That order is one federal measure, not a ranking of program quality: earnings reflect the field and where graduates go to work as well as the program.
- Does Tulane University of Louisiana get a "lower earnings" warning on the FAFSA?
- No. In the Department of Education's March 2026 data, which the FAFSA uses now, Tulane University of Louisiana's graduates' median earnings four years after completing were $77,845, above the $34,635 median for high school graduates aged 25 to 34 nationally, so first-year students who list it do not see the lower-earnings notice. The figure describes the whole institution, not any one program.
