Description

Since Jesuit schools are historically known for their rigorous academics, students at Loyola College in Baltimore, Maryland, get a thorough and challenging education.

Modeled on the Jesuit practice of cura personalis, which means education of the entire person, Loyola also offers an educational experience that nurtures students intellectually, spiritually, creatively and socially.

An institution of strong academics, Loyola awards degrees in such classical academic areas as:

  • Greek
  • Latin
  • Comparative Literature
  • Theology

Other degree programs include those awarded in other liberal arts disciplines, as well as those in fine and performing arts, business and science.

Since cura personalis is the focus of a Loyola education, many of Loyola’s students do some type of community service and also participate in a wide range of student organizations and campus ministry.

Eligible Loyola students may receive some form of financial aid, which is comprehensive and includes academic scholarships and need-based aid like grants, loans and work-study programs. Loyola also provides students with the resources for finding and applying for outside scholarships.

Admissions requirements include a minimum B average, an average ACT of 26, and an average SAT score of at least 1120 and 1290. In addition to tests and transcripts, applicants must supply recommendation letters and a list of extracurricular activities, all of which are evaluated in the admissions process.
