FranU has a strong tradition of forming highly qualified and ethical professionals at the associate, baccalaureate, master’s and doctoral levels.
Students can expect a hands-on education that prepares them to be compassionate, skilled leaders in their community.
State-of-the-Art Facilities
Students participate in engaged learning through cutting-edge educational technology like the Anatomage Table, an anesthesia skills and simulation lab and a physical therapy gym.
They also train in SETH, our 10,000-square-foot Simulated Learning Environment Teaching Hospital, which replicates real-world clinical settings.
Innovative Partnerships
Through a longstanding partnership with FMOL Health — one of Louisiana’s largest healthcare systems — students gain hands-on clinical experience in diverse, real-world settings. These placements help students build confidence, sharpen their skills and prepare for meaningful careers in healthcare.
