Louisiana Tech University is a public research university in Ruston,
Louisiana. It is part of the University of Louisiana System and classified among
'R2: Doctoral Universities – High research activity'. Louisiana Tech opened as
the Industrial Institute and College of Louisiana in 1894 during the Second
Industrial Revolution. The original mission of the college was for the education
of students in the arts and sciences for the purpose of developing an industrial
economy in post-Reconstruction Louisiana. Four years later in 1898, the state
constitution changed the school's name to Louisiana Industrial Institute. In
1921, the college changed its name to Louisiana Polytechnic Institute to reflect
its development as a larger institute of technology. Louisiana Polytechnic
Institute became desegregated in the 1960s. It officially changed its name to
Louisiana Tech University in 1970 as it satisfied criteria of a research
university.
