The Dr. Robert A. Savoie College of Engineering provides the most relevant experiences and curricula in the field. The majority of our instructors are either full-time faculty or practicing engineers who have their fingers on the pulse of industry. They also foster partnerships and deep connections to industry leaders in New Orleans that provide even more access to experts beyond the classroom. With all they offer, the preparation students will receive there will give them insights into a profession that improves the world every day.
*All undergraduate programs are accredited by
the Engineering Accreditation Commission of

For more than 60 years, the University of New Orleans has been an essential public asset, helping to build and sustain the region’s workforce while developing young leaders. UNO is a proven educational and economic development resource meeting the needs of New Orleans and the entire Gulf South region. Our reputation for high quality, affordable education is once again being recognized as UNO has been experiencing a steady increase in undergraduate enrollment over the last 5 years.
As the only university in the region with a distinct college of engineering, and one of only a few universities in the nation with a dedicated School for naval architecture and marine engineering, the university seeks to transform the educational experience of its prominent Boysie Bollinger School of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering industry well into the future.
The University of New Orleans is at a crossroads in our history, but with the support of our community, we can achieve our vision of being the primary engine of social, economic, intellectual and cultural development in the New Orleans region and beyond. We owe it to our students to provide them with the best experience that is in line with our mission of providing educational excellence to a diverse undergraduate and graduate student body.
UNO’s curriculum, especially in business administration, accounting, engineering, and the arts, must remain bold and dynamic. This campaign will enable our program to soar to new heights, giving our students the framework to thrive in a rapidly changing world.
We are asking all our alumni and friends to contemplate extraordinary gifts which will grow our scholarships, enhance the programs we offer, modernize our facilities, and invest in research opportunities. I invite you to consider a transformational gift of $250,000 to support your endowed scholarship within the College of Business Administration, COBA and Department of Accounting technology & infrastructure upgrades. Your gift can be paid over a multi-year period. Will you take some time to think about this request and determine a gift that is right for both you and the University?

The University of New Orleans attracts students who are determined, tenacious, and independent. They greet challenges head-on, with a plan of action and eyes wide open. Affordability is important to UNO students and their families, and so is UNO’s impressive job placement track record. We understand what
UNO students value—and we know how a UNO degree can change their trajectories in life. Our goal today is to make a UNO education even more accessible, and to support more students in completing
their degrees.
With philanthropic support, UNO can:
Gift Opportunity: Endow scholarships, fund graduate assistantships, support undergraduate research stipends, enhance educational resources with the support of mentorship programs for underrepresented students.
Impact: Create the opportunity to attract students who may not otherwise be able to attend college.
“I see the difference that the University has made in the city. I would say that metropolitan New Orleans does not work without the University of New Orleans. It’s that simple. Its impact is that profound on the city.”

From the very beginning, our students come to UNO for a number of reasons, but the top of that list is the high-quality education we provide. UNO is an academic powerhouse that offers undergraduate, pre-professional and graduate programs that prepare students to participate in the global economy.
Some of the University’s most well-known and in-demand degree programs offer an “only in New Orleans” education: hotel, restaurant, and tourism administration (HRT); naval architecture and marine engineering; planning and urban studies; environmental sciences; and the arts. UNO has the only civil, mechanical, and electrical engineering programs in the city, and it has produced more educational personnel in the metro area than any other institution. Many of the programs listed above have been ranked nationally or internationally—and all benefit from continual focus on the student learning experience.
Goals include:
Gift Opportunity: Support the expansion of new degree programs, certificates, and resources.
Impact: Develop S.T.E.A.M. focused programming to provide current and future students learning opportunities which will further advance our partnerships in the business and arts communities.
"Help us become what we could be.”

The University of New Orleans prepares students in the classroom for success in the real world. Our curriculum fosters academic success, experiential learning, career preparation, and workforce development.

The UNO Campus Master Plan calls for several new initiatives, technology upgrades, and renovation projects. Campaign donors
can invest to accelerate our timelines for accomplishing these objectives, putting in-demand resources into the hands of students
and faculty faster.
Priorities include:
Philanthropic resources will enable the University to meet the ever-growing needs of our students, our faculty, and the community.

The bold impact of the University is rooted in its prominence as a fine teaching institution. The exceptional faculty members are committed to the growth of students both in the classroom and throughout the world.
The University of New Orleans is the only public research university in New Orleans. When the government and other outside partners invest in our creation of new knowledge, it has add-on value in our regional economy and beyond. Research and scholarly engagement of all kinds at UNO also broaden and inform what we share in the classroom with our students, so they are equipped to solve today’s increasingly complex problems.
Our priorities:
Gift Opportunity: Provide lead funding to support research and scholarly productivity by investing in transformative research, supporting community partnerships, endowing professorships and chairs, and funding faculty stipends and travel grants.
Impact: To expand the depth and breadth of our research enterprise so we can continue seeking solutions and contributing new knowledge across disciplines and across the globe.
We are a university of all-time dreamers and full-time doers. We act as the conduit, connecting people to opportunity, and the catalyst that sparks ideas into action. Our strength comes from our diversity and our tenacity. Individually, we bring different perspectives, but collectively, we share a vision.
We are a dynamic university, which is strategically poised to shape a new generation of leaders and innovators who will help create a better future for all of us.
We invite you to partner with us in an ambitious philanthropic undertaking to invest in our students and our community to prepare for our aspirational path ahead.
