The Loyola Advantage

These characteristics, combined with our location, distinguish Loyola University New Orleans from other institutions and allow faculty, staff, and students to live out Loyola's mission in a distinct way.
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 4,858 students, including 2,655 undergraduates. The student faculty ratio is 11 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.

Almost all courses are taught by full-time faculty, and 91 percent hold doctoral or equivalent degrees in their area of expertise. Professors have been recognized nationally and internationally by the Pulitzer Committee, the National Science Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and by numerous other professional and scholarly associations.
