Reporting-period change
What changed in 2024
Louisiana State University and Agricultural & Mechanical College increased from 166 to 229 reported on-campus incidents between the 2023 and 2024 reporting years in the U.S. Department of Education OPE Campus Safety Survey.
This is a change in reported incidents, not a measure of individual safety. Enrollment, reporting practice, and category coverage can affect the count.

Campus size vs reported safety rate
Among 31 LA 4-year peers in this comparison, Louisiana State University and Agricultural & Mechanical College is larger than 100% and safer-reporting than 10% - the larger, higher-reporting quadrant. Axes are within-sample percentiles so outliers share the same frame; a higher safety percentile means a lower Clery incidents-per-1,000 rate.

Enrollment scale
How campus size shapes the safety figures
With 41,705 enrolled students, Louisiana State University and Agricultural & Mechanical College is the 55th largest of the 5,585 institutions in this dataset with a reported enrollment, ahead of 5,530 of them. Closest same-state same-level scored peers by enrollment: University of Louisiana at Lafayette (2.30/1k); Southeastern Louisiana University (3.74/1k); Tulane University of Louisiana (7.36/1k); Louisiana Tech University (1.26/1k); Louisiana State University-Shreveport (1.21/1k); University of Louisiana at Monroe (2.33/1k); Northwestern State University of Louisiana (3.17/1k); Southern University and A & M College (3.02/1k). The score above normalizes 2024 Criminal Offenses and VAWA incidents per 1,000 students, so compare it with similarly sized campuses instead of treating a higher raw count as evidence that a campus is less safe (University of Maryland-College Park is the nearest similar-enrollment comparison on this profile).
What changed between 2023 and 2024
Reported on-campus incidents at Louisiana State University and Agricultural & Mechanical College rose from 166 to 229 (+38%). The increase shows up in Motor Vehicle Theft (68 to 121), Rape (24 to 39) and Aggravated Assault (13 to 17). Falling over the same period: Burglary (53 to 46), Fondling (6 to 5) and Robbery (2 to 1).
This describes reported incidents, not crime. Clery counts move with reporting policy, awareness campaigns and how a campus staffs its security authorities, so a rise can reflect better capture of reports and a fall can reflect worse capture. One year of movement at a single campus is not a trend.
What actually gets reported at Louisiana State University and Agricultural & Mechanical College
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 7 Clery Act categories here: Motor Vehicle Theft, Burglary, Rape, Aggravated Assault, Fondling, Robbery and Arson.
The remaining 4 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, Incest, Murder / Non-Negligent Manslaughter, Negligent Manslaughter and Statutory Rape. Under the Clery Act that zero is an affirmative report that nothing in the category occurred, not an absence of data, which is why the table below lists those rows rather than dropping them.
Counts describe incidents reported under the Clery Act for the on-campus geography. Reporting practice varies between institutions, so counts are not a direct measure of relative safety.

Cost context
Where Louisiana State University and Agricultural & Mechanical College sits on price and outcomes
At $19,151, Louisiana State University and Agricultural & Mechanical College's reported average net price is cheaper than 60% among 96 Louisiana colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $15,635.

- average net price

- six-year earnings to median debt
- $13,433
- reported income-bracket spread
Aid here is steeply income-scaled. Families reporting under $30,000 of income record a net price of $13,056, while those above $110,000 record $26,489 - roughly 2.0 times as much. A published average of $19,151 therefore describes very few families well; the bracket nearest your own income is the more useful figure.
Median reported earnings six years after entry are $49,218, roughly 2.6 times a year of net price. That is a workable ratio, though it says nothing about how long the programme takes to finish.
Average net price reflects grant and scholarship aid for aided students, not a personal offer. Earnings cover former students who received federal aid; neither measure predicts an individual's outcome.
