Welcome to Loyola

As you think about the choice you will make about your higher education, you will be looking for answers to many questions. This choice is important for you, and we at Loyola want to let you view our community from the perspective of our students, faculty, and graduates.

What makes Loyola University New Orleans unique? Loyola combines the academic excellence of its faculty and programs, an ideal size that fosters individual student success in a positive learning experience, and the Jesuit commitment to educating the whole person. We strive to develop students into a new generation of leaders who possess a love for truth, the critical intelligence to pursue it, and the courage to articulate it.

At Loyola, you will be challenged to seek personal excellence, but you will also be guided in your efforts, helped by the “person-centered” learning community we provide. Loyola maintains the Jesuit belief in the individual, a belief that you can achieve your goals and help others achieve theirs.

New Orleans is Loyola’s extended campus, a city rich in its heritage of art, culture, and history. We value this heritage, shared since the first Jesuits settled in Louisiana in the 1700s.

As a Loyola student, you will discover an ideal-sized educational setting, experience small-school relationships, make contact with faculty as you grow and develop, and have the opportunity to distinguish yourself as a leader, researcher, artist, business expert, or communicator.

Take time to explore this website. We want you to gain the insight you need to make the right decision for your future. We hope that your future begins at Loyola University.
