Loyola Marymount University
1 Lmu Drive, Los Angeles, CA 90045
School Description
Provided by Loyola Marymount UniversityFounded in 1911, LMU is a premier Catholic university rooted in the Jesuit and Marymount traditions. Our enrollment includes 5,509 undergraduate, 1,962 graduate and 1,374 law school students. Our 150-acre bluff-top campus is located in West Los Angeles and was recently named in the "10 Most Beautiful Campuses" by the Princeton Review.
The names "Loyola" and "Marymount" have long been associated with Catholic higher education in countries around the globe. Saint Ignatius Loyola, founder of the Society of Jesus, sanctioned the foundation of his order's first school in 1548. The Religious of the Sacred Heart of Mary have conducted educational institutions since their establishment in France in 1849 by Father Jean Gailhac. These two traditions of education have come together in Los Angeles as Loyola Marymount University.
Loyola Marymount's Mission and Goals Statement, approved by the Board of Trustees in 1990, succinctly states in its preamble the university's three-fold mission:
* The encouragement of learning
* The education of the whole person
* The service of faith and the promotion of justice
60% percent of LMU undergraduates live in one of the 20 residence halls and apartments on campus. There are over 130 active clubs and organizations and a Greek community with 15 local chapters. Our student organizations perform over 8,440 hours of community service and raised over $135,000 for local and national charities in 2006-2007.

History
The names "Loyola" and "Marymount" have long been associated with Catholic higher education in countries around the globe. Saint Ignatius Loyola, founder of The Society Of Jesus, sanctioned the foundation of his order's first school in 1548. The Religious of the Sacred Heart of Mary have conducted educational institutions since their establishment in France in 1849 by Father Jean Gailhac. These two traditions of education have come together in Los Angeles as Loyola Marymount University. The present University is the successor to the pioneer Catholic college and first institution of higher learning in Southern California. In 1865, the Vincentian Fathers were commissioned by Bishop Thaddeus Amat y Brusi to found St. Vincent's College for boys in Los Angeles. John Asmuth served as the first President Rector. The college was originally located in the Lugo Adobe House at the southeast corner of Alameda Street and Los Angeles Street. The building was one of few two-story complexes in the city at that time and had been donated by Vincente Lugo. Although the building no longer stands, its original site is across Alameda Street from the current Union Station, on the Plaza near the southeast end of the city's historic Olvera Street. After two years, the school moved several blocks over. The campus was surrounded by Broadway, 6th Street, Hill Street, and 7th Street. St. Vincent's College folded into the Society of Jesus's newly founded Los Angeles College in 1911 as they simultaneously opened their high school division (Loyola High School). Richard A. Gleeson, S.J. served as the first Jesuit President.

College Advice |
Question: Loyola Marymount University Majors?How would I find out which major to apply to at LMU so that I would have a better chance of getting in. My GPA is 2.9 and I received a 27 on my ACT. If you don't understand what I am asking here is an example: University of Illinois is a kind of hard to get into so alot of kids apply for an agriculture major and just swithch majors.32 months ago
Best AnswerI understand exactly what you are asking. Just make sure that you are not pretending to be interested in one thing in an effort to get into some impacted program, because you may never be able to make the switch (for example, if you say you want to get into accounting when what you really want is to get into the film school, you are out of luck. The areas I'm aware of that are hurting for students are accounting and information systems in the business school, and physics in the college of science and engineering. There are some other areas, like Chicana/o Studies, which have relatively few majors. Again, make sure that you would be satisfied to stick that major if you were not allowed to switch, because the popular majors might shut you out when you try to make the change unless you are such a fabulous student that they couldn't live without you (I know what I'm talking about. I used to be a department chair in one of those popular majors, and at one point the only people we allowed to transfer internally were those with GPAs over 3.8! We just couldn't handle the demand). |
Question: Will not have three years of foreign language affect my chances of being accepted?Okay, so I want to apply to Loyola Marymount University when it is time for me to go to college. That's my first choice and that's the college I really want to get into. I've been doing research and I was reading the recommendations for admissions. I have everything except for three years of foreign language, I have tried contacting LMU time after time so ask how much not having the three years of foreign language will affect my chances of getting in, and I have yet to get an answers. Would anyone mind helping me out on what I should do??? Thanks in advance.. (sorry if this is too long!)33 months ago
Best AnswerThey are Recommendations for Admission. You will not be precluded because you have not taken three years of a foreign language, especially if 3 years of a foreign language is not offered at your high school. But if the rest of your transcript looks solid and you have a good SAT score, then you will have a pretty good shot at getting in. If you are really concerned, then include a strong letter of recommendation. You could perhaps get one from your English teacher highlighting your abilities in language. Some numbers to look at: Average GPA: 3.6 Average SAT: 1168 If you are well above these two stats, your odds of getting in are very good. The following are listed as admission factors: Secondary School Record - Very Important Class Rank - Important Standardized Test Scores - Important Essays - Important Recommendations - Considered You can use other categories to make up not having the recommended three years of a foreign language. Good luck. |
Question: How is Loyola Marymount University's Business program?How about their Finance/ Banking major? I also want to know how good is the networking at LMU. If I go to LMU will I find a job? ow will USC or UCLA be better Business schools if they only offer UCLA- Economics as a major and USC- Pre- accounting and Business Admin. LMU has so many different business majors, I'm presuming students will be more focused on what they actually want to do in life instead of settling for Economics or Business Admin.33 months ago
Best AnswerLoyola Marymount has little clout outside of the West. (They had an awesome, high-scoring basketball team at one point, right?) If your goal is to stay out in California, then you will be fine. If you want to end up in New York or Chicago, you may have problems. UCLA or USC would be better choices for you. However, if you think you will thrive at LMU, then make the most of the experience. Padding your resume with great quality internships and high leadership positions in campus organizations will help to overcome a lesser known school on your diploma. |
Question: Was wondering...is this a sign...?I am applying to Loyola Marymount University in L.A...Ad today recieved a packet with a semi-personalized letter from the head of admissions giving me reasons i should attend the university, I also recieved a brochure with it outlining aspects of the university (the type of guide that all unis and colleges have)...I mean they cant send this to all people who applied, would you say they are interested, or do you think this type of thing is givin out to every applicant...35 months ago
Best AnswerMany colleges/universities do this. A lot of colleges send out personalized letters to potential students to convince them to apply there and attend the school. I've recieved MANY of these letters, from colleges that I wasn't even thinking about going to. Unless it's an acceptance letter, I don't think it nessarily means anything. It could also be that they send those letters to all students who apply in order to convince them to choose that school (since most people apply to more than one school). It could be different for different schools, so it might mean something. Try giving the school a call and find out what it means (if anything). Good Luck!!!! |
Best AnswerNope -- not even close. UCSB is much more selective and prestigious. At UCSB, 95% of the students are in the top 10% of their classes and the average SAT score is about 1300 (math plus verbal). At Loyola Marymount, only about 30% are in the top 10% of their classes and the average SAT score is about 200 points lower. US News ranks UCSB at #47 -- making it a first tier national university and research institution. It ranks Loyola Marymount as a decent regional school (where research is not important). |
Question: how's LMU's film school?im planning to transfer into university and major in filming, juz wondering if Loyola Marymount Uni's filming school is good or not, if not, then what other uni for filming are recommended?41 months ago
Best AnswerLMU's film school is great. In fact, it is one of the schools best programs. The only downside is that since LMU is a smaller school, there are a limited number of courses to select from when pursuing your degree and only a hand full of professors to teach them. The good thing though is since it is a smaller program, you get lots of attention and have great connections to the surrounding community such as lion gate, etc. Other options around the area that are more renowned include UCLA and USC that have a much larger film department and offer more courses in the field. |
