Musical Cultures of the Gulf South Coordinate

Musical Cultures of the Gulf South is an interdisciplinary course of study that teaches students to investigate how their academic and professional goals relate to their surroundings "“"“ a portable mindset that will enrich their lives wherever they may go. Students are educated in the underlying currents of New Orleans and the Gulf South through coursework related to the Atlantic slave trade, the rituals of expressive circum-Gulfic and circum-Caribbean culture and resistance, and the social, environmental, economic, and political history of the region.

This coordinate major is offered under the auspices of the New Orleans Center for the Gulf South. All of our programs are inspired by the belief that the more we understand where we are, the more fully we can engage in our democracy and collective destiny.

If you’re working toward a bachelor’s degree, your first stop is our admission office. Last year, more than 150 international students pursued undergraduate degrees at Tulane. Let our counselors help you with entry requirements, academics, living in New Orleans, tuition, and more. (Don’t rule us out based on cost: We offer up to $23,000 in need-based financial aid to international students who qualify and who have not already been awarded that amount or more in merit scholarships.)

The 2023 freshman application is open.
We accept both the Common Application and our own online application.
