Make the World Brighter

A Loyola education changes the way students experience the world and lets them bring learning to life in their own ways.  It is a campus where a student can create a meaningful impact, and make the world brighter.  The campus is immersed in a city infused with new tech, talent, and rich culture.  Students can thrive as originals.

As part of the Jesuit approach to education, students will be asked to think critically, examine attitudes, challenge assumptions, and analyze motives. In other words, they help students shape their whole person. All of this builds their ability to make decisions based in freedom, love, and faith. This integral piece of the Loyola experience is especially visible in their liberal arts curriculum and our community service opportunities.

Mission 

Loyola University New Orleans, a Jesuit and Catholic institution of higher education, welcomes students of diverse backgrounds and prepares them to lead meaningful lives with and for others; to pursue truth, wisdom, and virtue; and to work for a more just world. Inspired by Ignatius of Loyola’s vision of finding God in all things, the university is grounded in the liberal arts and sciences, while also offering opportunities for professional studies in undergraduate and selected graduate programs. Through teaching, research, creative activities, and service, the faculty, in cooperation with the staff, strives to educate the whole student and to benefit the larger community.

Vision

As a Catholic, Jesuit University, Loyola University New Orleans is an academic community dedicated to the education of the whole person. By thinking critically and acting justly, students are to embody the Ignatian ideals of faith, truth, justice, and service. To meet these goals, the University will strive to become an increasingly selective university with outstanding liberal arts and sciences, professional, and graduate programs grounded in intellectual rigor and reflecting the more than 450-year Ignatian tradition.
