Each year, the E. J. Ourso College of Business graduates more than 1,000 exceptional individuals who are the business leaders and entrepreneurs of the future. Since 1928, the college has served as the flagship business college of Louisiana, playing an essential role in uplifting the economy of the state and the well-being of its citizens. Seven departments, five centers and institutes, and numerous programs, initiatives, groups, and labs comprise the units that encapsulate the offerings of the E. J. Ourso College of Business. Each of these components is committed to excellence in fostering learning and pursuing discovery in an intellectually diverse environment that prepares our students for rewarding lifelong careers. Our namesake, E. J. Ourso, once remarked that “Every successful entrepreneur is first of all an impossible dreamer.” As Louisiana’s top college of business, our goal is to help make dreams come true."
