Located on the banks of the Mississippi River in Baton Rouge’s Scotlandville neighborhood, Southern University and A&M College is a historic fixture in the city and an important contributor to the region’s scholarly community. With over 6,000 students enrolled, Southern is the largest Historically Black University in the state of Louisiana, and the only one with its own engineering program. In recent years, the university’s nursing school has been recognized as the best in the state multiple times in a row. Mumford Stadium on game day is always great time, especially when the world-famous Human Jukebox marching band takes the field.
Southern University’s position on the far northern edge of Baton Rouge offers a tranquil environment for academic pursuits with minimal distractions. Most of the surrounding area is filled with residential neighborhoods, with many apartments, houses, and condos available within walking distance of the campus. Greenwood Community Park and the Baton Rouge Airport are close by, and the city’s popular riverfront attractions are just a short drive to the south.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
