Xavier University seeks to enroll students who are prepared to be successful academically and to contribute positively to the Xavier community as a whole. With this general guideline in mind, the admitting offices individually evaluate each applicant and the complete set of credentials submitted for consideration.

Admission Process for Freshmen

Xavier has a rolling admission process. Students may submit applications beginning in late summer (before the senior year) for fall or spring semester admission. Decisions will be mailed beginning in October and will continue on a rolling basis within three to four weeks of receiving all required application materials. Decisions are typically made based upon grades earned through the junior year as well as other criteria including the essay, activities and community involvement, guidance counselor recommendation, and ACT or SAT scores (when submitted for review).

For deadlines and up to date admission information, please visit the Undergraduate Admission Office website at http://www.xavier.edu/undergraduate-admission or contact the office toll free at 877.982.3648.

Testimonials.

I believe I’ve developed as a leader by learning how to bring people together over a common goal. As captain of the Xavier Varsity Swim & Dive team, I learned how to unite incoming freshwomen who didn’t know anyone on the team with girls who had been on the team for multiple years. Kelly Scott ‘21

Advice to freshwomen: Everyone holds little boxes of wisdom for us to receive if we have the patience to listen to them. Learn as much as you can from them.

Bernadine Bueno ‘21

Advice to freshwomen: Take advantage of any opportunity you can and try new clubs, sports or activities you’ve never considered before.

Jane Farmer ‘21

Xavier has taught me to manage my time so I don’t get behind. It’s carried through to my personal life -- I’m more responsible, think about the future, and am aware of always doing my best.

Jaden Campbell ‘21

Xavier’s community has allowed me to grow in a myriad of ways! Through the various clubs and activities they have to offer, I had the opportunity to explore my passions and thrive as a leader, enabling me to be prepared for future endeavors. The positive, supportive environment of Xavier has undoubtedly helped me grow in so many ways.

Nina Rawal ‘23

Xavier has been a part of my everything for almost 50 years! As a student, I was always learning and striving toward excellence. As a Xavier parent, I have supported the mission for excellence. As a coach at XCP, I have personally witnessed women of excellence in practice, while competing, and always in their studies. Xavier is a safe place to grow, be yourself, and grow into your best self too!

Eden Higgins ‘83

My education at Xavier formed me to be the person I am. To have the discipline to work hard, keep at it, not give up and rely on my faith. It has provided me with friends, community, faith, and an education that continues to enrich my life.

Kitty Lagmade ‘82

Xavier Traditions

Traditions form the core of the Xavier identity. From our uniform, the blue plaid skirt which serves as the mark of young women of faith pursuing excellence, to our daily practices and annual celebrations, these rituals and traditions provide the freedom necessary to focus and the reflection required to celebrate our achievements and bind students in true community for decades. Our enduring friendships and lasting memories are Xavier traditions of the highest honor.

A Trailblazer for Girls Sports

Recently, Sister Lynn Winsor was interviewed & filmed by CBS Evening News (national). This year marks the 50th anniversary of the start of Title IX, which expanded and gave equity to girls' athletics in schools. CBS News interviewed Sister Lynn because she was instrumental in promoting Title IX — not only at Xavier, in Arizona, but at schools nationwide. The news team also focused on Sister Lynn’s leadership at Xavier College Preparatory winning a large number (145) of state championships in her continuing tenure as Athletic Director.

HBCU Xavier of New Orleans moves closer to establishing a medical school

• Copy Link copied

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Xavier University, a small Catholic and historically Black school in New Orleans, formally signed an agreement Monday with Ochsner Health to establish a medical school.

When it opens, the Xavier Ochsner College of Medicine will join the nation’s four existing historically Black medical schools: Howard University College of Medicine, Morehouse School of Medicine, Meharry Medical College, and the Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science. Another historically Black institution, Maryland’s Morgan State University, also is setting up a medical school.

There’s no firm opening date yet. It will likely take three years for the school to get accreditation from the Liaison Committee on Medical Education. Then it can start recruiting an initial class of 50.

Officials with the planned Xavier Oschner College of Medicine named the institution’s founding dean, Dr. Leonardo Seoane. He is currently the executive vice president and chief academic officer of Ochsner Health.

Plans for a medical school at Xavier were first announced in 2022. The agreement with Ochsner was formally announced in January of 2023. The Xavier University of Louisiana Board of Trustees and the Ochsner Health Board of Directors voted this past February to approve the formation of the new medical school.

The new medical school will be in an office tower next to the Superdome in an area designated as BioDistrict New Orleans, which is dedicated to economic development and jobs in the biological sciences.

Xavier was founded in 1925 and has developed a reputation for getting high numbers of African American students into medical schools.

“With the establishment of the Xavier Ochsner College of Medicine, Ochsner and Xavier aim to address long-standing health disparities and foster stronger, healthier communities in pursuit of the mission to promote a more just and humane society gifted to Xavier nearly 100 years ago by our foundress, St. Katharine Drexel and her Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament,” Xavier President Reynold Verret said in a statement.

New Orleans-based Ochsner Health has 46 hospitals and more than 370 health and urgent care centers in the Gulf South.

Ochsner Health is a system that delivers health to the people of Louisiana, Mississippi and the Gulf South with a mission to Serve, Heal, Lead, Educate and Innovate.

Xavier Ochsner College of Medicine Announces Founding Dean and Location in Downtown New Orleans at Benson Tower

The future hbcu medical school will be an anchor of the biodistrict, helping to grow the city’s economy, train more physicians and bring healthcare diversity to the gulf south.

Release Date: April 29, 2024

• Innovation,

New Orleans, La. – Xavier University of Louisiana (Xavier), a leading undergraduate institution in preparing Black students to successfully complete medical school, has announced continued progress with Ochsner Health (Ochsner), the Gulf South’s leading academic medical center in training physicians, to launch their transformational Xavier Ochsner College of Medicine (XOCOM). This groundbreaking partnership marks a significant milestone in advancing medical education by addressing health disparities in diverse communities and helping fulfill the urgent need for more physicians in Louisiana and the nation. The new medical school will be in the burgeoning BioDistrict New Orleans , located downtown in Benson Tower next to Caesars Superdome.

“With the establishment of the Xavier Ochsner College of Medicine, Ochsner and Xavier aim to address long-standing health disparities and foster stronger, healthier communities in pursuit of the mission to promote a more just and humane society gifted to Xavier nearly 100 years ago by our foundress, St. Katharine Drexel and her Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament,” said Dr. Reynold Verret, President of Xavier University of Louisiana. “Our partnership with Ochsner affirms our commitment to advancing health equity and excellence. XOCOM will provide cutting-edge medical training and biomedical research and, through a culture of mentorship and leadership, empower our students to be agents of change in healthcare.”

At a XOCOM signing celebration on April 29, 2024, Xavier and Ochsner officials announced that Dr. Leonardo Seoane, MD, FACP, Executive Vice President and Chief Academic Officer of Ochsner Health, will serve as the new HBCU medical school’s founding dean.

“Xavier Ochsner College of Medicine was born from a truly collaborative vision between Xavier University of Louisiana and Ochsner Health. It epitomizes our collective dedication to providing academic excellence in training the next generation of physicians, while fostering healthcare equity in New Orleans and throughout the United States,” said Dr. Seoane, Dean of Xavier Ochsner College of Medicine. “By addressing the critical shortage of physicians in standing up this HBCU medical school in the Gulf South, XOCOM will pursue diversity in medicine and ensure equitable representation in healthcare to better serve our communities for generations to come.”

The announcement follows votes by the Xavier University of Louisiana Board of Trustees and the Ochsner Health Board of Directors in February to approve the formation of the new medical school. On Monday, officials announced XOCOM’s founding board of directors, which includes Xavier and Ochsner appointees:

• C. Reynold Verret, PhD, President, Xavier University of Louisiana
• Pete November, CEO, Ochsner Health
• Trevonne M. Thompson, M.D., FAAEM, FACEP, FACMT, Associate Dean, Admissions, University of Illinois College of Medicine
• Matthew Block, Executive Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer, Ochsner Health
• Gary C. Butts, M.D., Executive Vice President, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, Mount Sinai Health System
• Veronica Gillispie-Bell, M.D., MAS, FACOG, Senior Site Lead and Section Head, Women’s Services, Ochsner Kenner; Medical Director of Quality, Women’s Services, Ochsner Health; Medical Director of Minimally Invasive Center for Treatment of Uterine Fibroids, Ochsner Health; Associate Professor, Ochsner Clinical School
• Gregory N. Rattler Sr., Managing Director, JP Morgan Chase
• Deborah Grimes, RN, JD, MSHQS, Senior Vice President and Chief Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Officer, Ochsner Health

Slated to be the only Historically Black College and University (HBCU) medical school in the Gulf South when it opens, XOCOM expands opportunities for New Orleans’ downtown area as part of the BioDistrict, a development district that is growing biosciences and the local economy. As XOCOM advances healthcare equity and expands the physician workforce in the Gulf South, the medical school will also help the BioDistrict lead the region in healthcare excellence and promote inclusive, equitable job growth.

“Ochsner Health is committed to meeting the needs of the diverse communities we serve, and we are honored to continue our work with Xavier University of Louisiana to improve the health and wellbeing of New Orleans, our state and region,” said Pete November, CEO, Ochsner Health . “By providing excellent training to more diverse physicians so they may better serve our communities, we are not only investing in the future of healthcare, but also in the long-term prosperity and wellness for our many neighbors, friends and family members throughout the Gulf South.”

Reimagination of Healthcare to Improve Outcomes

Through the establishment of XOCOM, Xavier and Ochsner aspire to redefine the landscape of medicine by nurturing a new cadre of physicians who authentically mirror the communities they serve. XOCOM’s vision is to unleash the power of diversity, transform medical education, and train compassionate physician scientists who will champion inclusivity and excellence in medicine.

XOCOM will boast state-of-the-art medical technology and facilities, providing students with immersive learning experiences and hands-on training opportunities. The curriculum will emphasize interdisciplinary collaboration, clinical proficiency, and compassionate patient care, equipping graduates with the skills and knowledge to address the complex healthcare challenges of the 21st century.

Xavier University of Louisiana will seek approval from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC). The new medical school, XOCOM, will seek preliminary accreditation from the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME). Accreditation is expected to take about three years and will be followed by recruitment. XOCOM aims to seat 50 students in the first class, and the medical school will continue to grow as it develops.

When it opens, the Xavier Ochsner College of Medicine will join the nation’s four existing historically Black medical schools : Howard University College of Medicine, Morehouse School of Medicine, Meharry Medical College, and the Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science.

Research shows an urgent need for this HBCU College of Medicine, as the demand for diverse doctors is expected to grow considerably. Every year, 25% of the incoming interns in the National Resident Matching Program come from foreign medical schools because there are not enough U.S. Medical School graduates. The Association of American Medical Colleges has projected a total shortage of up to 86,000 physicians by 2036 . Louisiana is projected to rank third nationally for a shortage of physicians by 2030, with rural and underserved communities expected to be impacted the most. Black doctors make up just 5.7% of the nation’s physicians, but Black populations account for 13.6% of U.S. residents. And while Hispanic doctors only account for 6.9% of the workforce, Hispanic people make up the largest minority population at 19%.

Studies show representation in medicine truly matters. A 2022 report in the National Library of Medicine emphasized that diversity in medicine plays a crucial role in enhancing health outcomes, as it improves quality access to health care services and fosters patient trust.

Working Together in the BioDistrict

Xavier and Ochsner are uniquely qualified to open a new HBCU medical school. For decades, Xavier, one of the country’s top ranked HBCUs, has produced more Black students who achieve medical degrees and doctorates in the health sciences than any other higher education institution in the nation. Ochsner has a history of investing in communities and health equity, and demonstrated experience training physicians, annually instructing over 330 residents and fellows through graduate medical education.

Ochsner and Xavier’s partnership began in the 1980s with the College of Pharmacy, which ranks among the top in the nation in producing Black graduates with Doctor of Pharmacy degrees. More recently, the two institutions partnered to create a Physician Assistant (PA ) program, new graduate programs in health sciences and the Ochsner Health and Xavier University Institute for Health Equity and Research (OXIHER) .

Working together in the BioDistrict, leaders in economic development, higher education, business, and nonprofits are creating a vibrant, authentic, and engaging place where industry and the community convene to tackle global challenges in health and wellness. The BioDistrict will drive the regional economy through strategic investments, grow the city’s biosciences and health innovation ecosystem, and create jobs and economic opportunities for New Orleanians.

By anchoring their partnership with the Xavier Ochsner College of Medicine (XOCOM), Xavier and Ochsner will advance healthcare excellence, bring new opportunities to marginalized populations and create stellar medical education for future generations.

Xavier Ochsner College of Medicine

Xavier University of Louisiana and Ochsner Health are teaming up to open a new medical school, the Xavier Ochsner College of Medicine. This historic school will be the only HBCU medical school in the Gulf South when it opens. Right now, there are only four other medical schools at historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) across the United States. Together, Xavier and Ochsner aim to train more doctors, especially more diverse doctors, to make sure everyone in our communities gets the care they deserve.

Support the Xavier Ochsner College of Medicine

The Gulf South needs more doctors, especially physicians from diverse backgrounds. Research shows that there aren’t enough doctors graduating from medical schools in the U.S. This shortage is especially a problem in Louisiana. Research also shows that representation in medicine matters for making sure more people get and stay well.

Xavier and Ochsner have been working together since the early 1980s. Through our partnership, Ochsner and Xavier have made advances in healthcare equity through several programs, including a program for physician assistants that has already graduated 70 students.

By creating this new medical school, Xavier and Ochsner are taking a big step toward making healthcare better for all the communities we serve. Together, we are training doctors who care deeply about their patients and understand the importance of diversity and high-quality medicine.

TAYLOR SCOTT

“I chose pharmacy because it was direct way to help people in the community and I got to go to school for 6 years instead of 8 to be a doctor, so yeah, pharmacy is definitely the way to go.

TAYLOR GUILLORY

Hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters arrested at campuses as colleges crack down on encampments

Students at dozens of universities in the U.S. and Canada continue to protest for Palestinian human rights after months of war in Gaza.

Most student organizations participating in protests and encampments on campuses have similar demands of their administrations, including divestment from companies that could be profiting from the war and transparency about where they’re investing their money.

Many universities have said that they support freedom of speech and will allow protests on campus but that encampments violate school policy. On Saturday, dozens of people were arrested at colleges that cracked down on encampments, including Northeastern University in Boston, where about 100 people were detained.

Here are the most recent updates on what is happening on campuses across the country.

George Washington University

Administrators at George Washington University in Washington, D.C., said Sunday that protesters who remained at an on-campus encampment would be suspended from school and administratively barred from campus.

The encampment was being limited to 20 people, they said. A separate encampment off campus was under the purview of Washington police, the school’s top leaders said in a statement Sunday.

On Sunday, video protesters posted to social media depicted some clashes with law enforcement on campus.

The administrators, President Ellen M. Granberg and Provost Christopher Alan Bracey, earlier acknowledged a lack of violence on campus but singled out messaging deemed "highly offensive to many members of our community," including "hateful language."

New Orleans

Police said at least 10 people were arrested Sunday night at a pro-Palestinian protest in New Orleans, where students from Loyola and Tulane universities have joined the nationwide student movement.

New Orleans police told NBC affiliate WDSU that four officers were injured as police cleared protesters from Jackson Square, which is overlooked by St. Louis Cathedral.

Skirmishes broke out between pro-Palestinian protesters and pro-Israel counterprotesters at UCLA in the Westwood community of Los Angeles on Sunday.

No arrests or injuries were reported as members and supporters of the pro-Israel group Stand With Us rallied on campus and ultimately clashed with pro-Palestinian protesters at their expanding encampment.

Stand With Us co-founder Roz Rothstein said o n X that 1,000 people joined the counterprotest.

Video showed some protesters removing barriers that separated the two sides as fast-moving participants bumped bodies, stood off and yelled at one another.

“We are heartbroken to report that today, some physical altercations broke out among demonstrators," UCLA's vice chancellor for strategic communications, Mary Osako, said in a statement.

Osako said more security personnel and measures were subsequently put in place.

University of Southern California

Joel Curran, the University of Southern California ’s senior vice president of communications, said campus property, including the Tommy Trojan statue, was vandalized Saturday by people who are part of the group that has continued "to illegally camp on our campus."

"Despite repeated warnings, this group has also continued to disrupt our campus operations and harass students and others, in violation of numerous university policies," Curran said. "While the university fully supports freedom of expression, these acts of vandalism and harassment are absolutely unacceptable and will not be tolerated."

Curran did not say what the alleged acts of harassment were. He said protesters have refused President Carol Folt's “numerous attempts” to meet with them.

"We are hoping for a more reasonable response Sunday before we are forced to take further action. This area is needed for commencement setup early this week," he said.

Los Angeles police said no one was arrested during a protest on campus Saturday night.

USC students started protesting after Muslim student Asna Tabassum’s  valedictorian speech was canceled  because of unspecified security threats.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology

President Sally Kornbluth said in a statement Sunday that negotiations between student protesters and administrators came to a stalemate when "students made clear on social media that they will not accept anything less than their original demands."

"What’s more, despite the fact that the students were engaged with us in what we thought were good-faith discussions, a group of students disrupted another official MIT event this morning," Kornbluth said. "I have long believed that dialogue and mutual understanding are the best way to resolve conflicts. But it is clear that this approach has not allowed the progress we were hoping for."

MIT did not immediately respond to a request for comment on what the administration plans to do next.

In a video statement published Saturday, Kornbluth acknowledged that the pro-Palestinian protests on campus have been peaceful so far but said the encampment "has been a clear violation of our procedures for registering and reserving space for campus demonstrations."

"We are open to further discussion about the means of ending the encampment," she said. "But this particular form of expression needs to end soon."

Emerson College

Video from last week showed officers in protective gear moving in on Boylston Place Alley on Emerson's campus in Boston, where an encampment was set up. A total of 118 protesters were arrested as a result, President Jay Bernhardt said in a statement.

Bernhardt said that the college "advocated with the City and Boston Police Department for several days to delay the removal of the encampment" and that when it became clear that was imminent, it encouraged protesters to remove tents from the alley.

"We know that the events of that night were, and are, emotionally overwhelming for our entire community, especially for the students present at the protest and the staff and faculty who were on site to provide support," he said.

Bernhardt said that the college will not bring campus disciplinary charges against the protesters and that it plans to encourage the district attorney not to pursue charges against those involved in the encampment.

University of Mary Washington

A total of 12 people, including nine students, were arrested for trespassing Saturday after the University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg, Virginia, prohibited an encampment on campus because it invited outsiders in, President Troy Paino said in a statement.

"We remain committed to working with our campus community members to facilitate peaceful expression, and we welcome individuals and families to our campus for public events, including demonstrations when those activities abide by policies and regulations," Paino said. "Events that do not follow instructions, attempt to disrupt classes or activities, or endanger the health, safety, and security of our campus community will not be allowed."

Northeastern University

About 100 people were detained at a pro-Palestinian protest at Northeastern University’s Boston campus Saturday morning, university officials said.

“What began as a student demonstration two days ago, was infiltrated by professional organizers with no affiliation to Northeastern,” the university said in its  statement on X . “Last night, the use of virulent anti-Semitic slurs, including ‘Kill the Jews,’ crossed the line. We cannot tolerate this kind of hate on our campus.”

Video circulating online appears to show the statement was made by a counterprotester holding an Israeli flag, who was met with boos from other protesters on campus. It was not clear whether the person who said the antisemitic phrase was among those detained or disciplined.

The leading student organization behind the protest, Huskies for a Free Palestine, called the administration’s statement “false narratives.” It accused the administration of implying pro-Palestinian protesters uttered the phrase and of using it “as justification to arrest over 100 Northeastern faculty, workers, and students.”

Columbia University

Columbia’s pro-Palestinian encampment stretched into its second weekend after talks between protesting students and the administration remained at a stalemate .

New York police said there were no reports of arrests of students at Columbia University on Friday or Saturday in relation to the encampment.

The Reach Education Fund, a U.S. nonprofit group that helps Palestinian students achieve their academic dreams, shared a video of children supporting protesters at Columbia.

"Thank you, the students of Columbia University," a student said. "We respect you," another said.

The Palestinian students also showed support for students protesting at Harvard and Yale universities.

"We hear you.. students of Yale University," read a sign held by a student.

Portland State University

On Friday, Portland State University President Ann Cudd announced that the institution will receiving “any further gifts or grants” from Boeing after it received a letter signed by members of the community.

The university group Students United for Palestinian Equal Rights has accused Boeing of being “complicit in the occupation and genocide in Palestine,” it said on Instagram .

A spokesperson for Boeing said it had no comment.

Arizona State University

At Arizona State University, 72 people were arrested Friday and accused of trespassing related to setting up an encampment, a university spokesperson said.

The school said that the encampment was established mostly by people who were not university students or faculty or staff members and that they refused instructions to disperse.

Only 15 of the 72 people who were arrested were students, according to the university.

Indiana University

Police arrested 23 people at Indiana University on Saturday after protesters were warned to remove tents or other structures that violated university policy. Those who did not were “detained and removed,” the university said.

The people who were arrested face charges from criminal trespass to resisting law enforcement. It is unclear whether they are affiliated with the university.

Washington University

At Washington University in St. Louis, more than 80 people were arrested Saturday after a group of students, employees and others not affiliated with the campus refused to leave after they pitched tents and called on others to join their protest, the university said in a statement.

"All will face charges of trespassing and some may also be charged with resisting arrest and assault, including for injuries to police officers," the school said.

Moscow Metro

The Moscow Metro Tour is included in most guided tours’ itineraries. Opened in 1935, under Stalin’s regime, the metro was not only meant to solve transport problems, but also was hailed as “a people’s palace”. Every station you will see during your Moscow metro tour looks like a palace room. There are bright paintings, mosaics, stained glass, bronze statues… Our Moscow metro tour includes the most impressive stations best architects and designers worked at - Ploshchad Revolutsii, Mayakovskaya, Komsomolskaya, Kievskaya, Novoslobodskaya and some others.

What is the kremlin in russia?

The guide will not only help you navigate the metro, but will also provide you with fascinating background tales for the images you see and a history of each station.

And there some stories to be told during the Moscow metro tour! The deepest station - Park Pobedy - is 84 metres under the ground with the world longest escalator of 140 meters. Parts of the so-called Metro-2, a secret strategic system of underground tunnels, was used for its construction.

During the Second World War the metro itself became a strategic asset: it was turned into the city's biggest bomb-shelter and one of the stations even became a library. 217 children were born here in 1941-1942! The metro is the most effective means of transport in the capital.

There are almost 200 stations 196 at the moment and trains run every 90 seconds! The guide of your Moscow metro tour can explain to you how to buy tickets and find your way if you plan to get around by yourself.
