Loyola's Unique Aspects
Rich Jesuit Tradition
Loyola’s rich history and Jesuit influence date back to the early 18th century when the Jesuits first arrived among the earliest settlers in New Orleans and Louisiana. The Jesuits are renowned for liberal arts, value-centered education of the whole person, and a commitment to lifelong learning, social justice, and service.
Ideal Size
Loyola is home to 5,900 students, including 3,800 undergraduates. The student to faculty ratio is 13 to 1, far better than the national average of 45 to 1 among private institutions. This ideal size combines with a wide array of academic programs to provide the choices available in a large university, while giving you more opportunities to succeed individually. We pride ourselves on the positive learning environment our size affords us.
Academic Excellence
Loyola’s Jesuit-centered tradition of academic excellence has been built upon the quality of our faculty, students, and programs, and is enhanced by the many academic resources available to our students.
