LSU Graduate School

Another remarkable graduating class in the books! 🎉🎓

We are proud to announce that there were 1,069 master’s degrees and 113 doctoral degrees awarded to the Spring 2026 graduating class from the LSU Pinkie Gordon Lane Graduate School. ✨

Congratulations to every LSU graduate student who crossed the stage in May. Your achievements reflect the excellence and dedication that define our graduate community. We’re excited to celebrate this milestone with you all! 💜🤩

Happy June, Tigers! ☀️ Here’s a quick look at this month’s important dates and deadlines, so you stay on track this summer. 😉

Graduate school can be rewarding, challenging, exciting, and exhausting… sometimes all at once. In recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month, we want to remind our graduate students that taking care of yourself is an important part of your journey. 💭

Take this as a sign to rest, ask for help, and move at a pace that does not cause burnout. ✨ Your well-being matters just as much as your academic achievements.

Research funding is more than just a number. It is a direct investment in Louisiana’s future, and the momentum only increases from here. 🔬

After five consecutive years of growth, LSU has reached $601 million in life-changing research, translating into $1.65 billion in economic impact across Louisiana. The research our graduate students conduct contributes to this number and to overall research advancement that benefits our state.
