structures. There are many opportunities for students interested in
historic preservation to work in New Orleans 1 historic neighborhoods
with community-based groups on a variety of issues linked to protection
of the built environment.
Public Culture and Applied Research at UNO
Public culture refers to the sources and symbols, resources and
representations of human cultural affiliation and expression. The
departments within the School of Urban Planning and Regional Studies
(Anthropology, Geography and Planning and Urban Studies) offer
a series of courses and projects in public culture. This program is also
reflected in long-term collaborations with the departments of history;
arts administration; hotel, restaurant and tourism administration;
film, theatre, and communication arts and facilities such as Eisenhower
Center for American Studies and Ogden Museum of Southern
Art. SUPRS faculty and staff manage public programs in regional folk
life, archaeology, and historic preservation. SUPRS also collaborates in
the production of the weekly syndicated Public Radio International
program “American Routes.”
SUPRS’ historic engagement of issues in public policy and city/
regional planning is complemented by its involvement in the culturally
distinct New Orleans cityscape and greater south Louisiana
region.
Applied Research at SUPRS
The words “research and engagement” are an important part of
the SUPRS mission statement. SUPRS’ students, faculty, and staff are
engaged throughout the community, state and nation in applied
research and public service, making real quality-of-life contributions.
The Louisiana Urban Technical Assistance Center (LUTAC) has
provided low-cost technical assistance in public administration to
local governments since 1981.
The International Project for Nonprofit Leadership (IPNL), a
joint endeavor of SUPRS and UNO’s Metropolitan College, works to
strengthen local non-profits.
Work to increase commerce on the Lower Mississippi is conducted
in concert with the transportation industry through the Mississippi
River Corridor Initiative, a discrete program of SUPRS’s Merritt C.
Becker, Jr. Maritime and Intermodal Transportation Center. The
federally designated National Ports and Waterways Institute is the
leading university-based maritime planning and evaluation organization
in the U.S.
SUPRS sponsors the International Program for Port Planning
and Management in New Orleans each year, bringing together port
managers from over 100 countries.
“American Routes” host and SUPRS faculty member Nick Spitzer
explores our musical culture every week on his syndicated Public
Radio International show in over 200 markets.
The Louisiana Regional Folk life Program (LRFP) represents
CUPA’s commitment to conserving traditional cultures in New Orleans
and the surrounding region.
Critical Languages Program: Self-Instructional
Courses in Modern Languages
The Critical Languages Program provides the opportunity for
strongly motivated persons to undertake self-instructional courses of
study in some languages not available among our regular offerings
or not available at the advanced level requested. The globalization of
human society imposes significantly increased demands for languagecompetent
individuals able to use effectively many more languages
than the traditional French, German, and Spanish. This program, based
upon a 30-year national project at work in more than 150 universities
and colleges across the country, is aimed at applying a highly effective
method to enhance the opportunities associated with foreign language
training.
Such courses are set up on an individual basis, by prior arrangement
with the coordinator of the Critical Languages Program (CLP),
and require the prior approval of the Department of Foreign Languages.
Those contemplating such courses must therefore begin their
planning as early as possible. Enrollment in all cases is subject to the
University’s ability to locate native speakers and professional, qualified
persons capable of both monitoring and evaluating the students’ work.
Three credits are available for these courses per semester, although all
may also be taken on a noncredit basis. Credits earned may be counted
as part of the 120 needed for graduation, but may not be used to fulfill
any departmental or college language requirement without written
approval of the appropriate administrative officers. Those interested
in the program should contact the Coordinator of the Critical Languages
Program through the College of Liberal Arts office.
