Nicholls State University (Nicholls), located in Thibodaux, is a comprehensive regional institution rooted in the heart of Louisiana’s bayou country. Nestled between the Atchafalaya and Mississippi rivers, coastal wetlands and vibrant waterway systems offer students firsthand access to one of the nation's most dynamic environmental and cultural regions.
Nicholls leverages its location along Bayou Lafourche to offer distinctive academic programs in geomatics, culinary arts, marine and environmental science, and the petroleum sector.
With deep ties to Louisiana’s working coast and maritime industries, the university plays a key role in supporting regional sectors, including agriculture and fisheries, energy, manufacturing, and global trade, while preparing students for innovation and leadership in a changing economy.
