Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady University, formerly Our Lady of the Lake College, is a private Catholic university in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, United States. It was founded in 1923 and is sponsored by the Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady, North American Province. The university has an enrollment of approximately 1300 students. The university is owned by Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center. It offers associate, bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: the $17,797 average net price and relatively low median debt of $16,669 make this an affordable option, especially for students pursuing healthcare careers through its connection to Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center. However, the 51% graduation rate and 60% freshman retention rate are real concerns — nearly half of students who start here don't finish, which is worth taking seriously before enrolling. Worth considering if you're focused on nursing or allied health and have a clear plan to stay on track, but ask hard questions about academic support before committing.
