Xavier University of Louisiana is a private, coed, liberal arts college that is also an historically African-American (HBCU) Roman Catholic University located in uptown New Orleans, Louisiana. Of the 102 historically black colleges and universities and 253 Catholic colleges in the United States, it is the only one noted both black and Catholic. Although founded to develop African-American Christian leadership, today more than half of its population is non-Catholic and 10 percent is non-black.
