Our Mission
The E. J. Ourso College is Louisiana's premier public business school, dually charged to lead in both business education and research. We serve students from Louisiana and throughout the world by enabling learning and promoting related activities as we guide these students toward realizing their potential for living productive lives. We promote improvement within business by conducting and publicizing research that better informs the world's academic, governmental, and business forums. Through our faculty, students and alumni, we provide a direct link to the region's business community while actively participating in the global academic community.
