Our Department has been maintaining its high ranking for the last several years, attesting for the quality of our faculty's research. We are prepared for the challenge to achieve even higher ranking among our peers as the Department welcomes its first cohort of doctoral students this fall in the first College of Sciences multidisciplinary Ph.D. program in Earth and Energy Sciences. We are ready to step up and open an era of convergence research at UL Lafayette.
