The Loyola Distinction
Gives new meaning to thinking globally, acting locally.
At Loyola University New Orleans, education goes beyond a classroom and lectures. That’s why we say the world is our blackboard—we offer a myriad of unique opportunities that allow you to learn and thrive outside the classroom, both in New Orleans and around the globe.
The hallmark of a Loyola education can be summed up in a simple phrase: We produce citizens of the world.
Our centers and institutes for everything from environmental and nonprofit communications to the Loyola Institute for Ministry offer you the chance to learn in a hands-on environment. Volunteer through the Loyola University Community Action Program and learn through giving back. Or study abroad for exposure to different cultures.
- A Loyola education encompasses the rich Jesuit tradition of educating the whole person heritage of academic excellence.
- Loyola seeks to prepare its students to be active participants on the global stage.
- Rather than simply teaching our future graduates what to think, we teach them how to think.
These critical distinctions are at the very heart of what it means to receive a Jesuit education at Loyola.
