LSU's Vision
LSU's vision encapsulates the University's core values: to be among the world's leading research universities, taking undergraduate and graduate students to the highest levels of intellectual and personal development. LSU's mission as the state's premier university is the generation, preservation, dissemination, and application of knowledge and the cultivation of the arts for the benefit of the people of the state, the nation, and the global community.

Louisiana State University has identified 11 programs as foundations of excellence—biological sciences, chemistry, civil & environmental engineering, English, french studies, history, mass communication, mathematics, mechanical engineering, music, and physics and astronomy. Targeted for enhanced resource allocations, these programs have been selected because each has sufficient strength to advance to levels that will command national and international attention, heightening LSU's reputation as a rising public research university.

These programs are the foundations of excellence on which LSU's students, faculty, and staff are building to make the University a leading center of learning and discovery for the 21st century.
