Loyola University Maryland

An experience to inspire a lifetime

At Loyola University Maryland, you’ll discover an education that prepares you to learn, lead, and serve in a diverse and ever-changing world. Rooted in the Jesuit, Catholic tradition, Loyola’s approach to education focuses on developing your mind, body, and spirit—ensuring you grow as a scholar, a leader, and a person.

You’ll choose from more than 45 majors and 55 minors, with some of the most popular programs including business, communication, biology, psychology, forensic sciences, engineering, computer science, economics, finance, and speech-language-hearing sciences. Small class sizes (average of 20 students) and a 12:1 student-faculty ratio mean you’ll benefit from personalized attention and mentorship from dedicated professors who are experts in their fields. Sixty percent of students study abroad in one of our 60 programs in 30+ global destinations, gaining invaluable international experience.

From the moment you arrive on campus, Loyola’s living-learning program for first-year students will help you transition into college life and set you up for success. As a member of our vibrant community, you will live and learn on our beautiful 81-acre Evergreen campus (recognized among the best in the country), located just 15 minutes from downtown Baltimore. With nearly 80% of students living on campus in our nationally ranked residence halls through their senior year, you’ll build strong friendships and lasting connections—and you’ll find plenty of things to do and people to do them with.

At Loyola, you’ll find hundreds of student-led clubs and organizations, recreational and club sports, opportunities for community engagement, and campus traditions—not to mention 18 NCAA Division I teams competing in the Patriot League. Whether you’re cheering on the Greyhounds, attending a concert, or getting involved in leadership and service, the Loyola experience is anything but ordinary.

And when it’s time for your next step? Ninety-nine percent of Loyola graduates are employed, in graduate or professional school, or serving in military or civic service within six to nine months of graduation—and go on to earn mid-career salaries 30% higher than alumni from peer institutions.

At Loyola, you earn so much more than a degree. Greyhounds gain the experience, skills, and confidence to build a life of success and significance.
