Loyola University- New Orleans

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

Loyola University New Orleans is a private, co-educational and Jesuit university located in New Orleans, Louisiana. Originally established as Loyola College in 1904, the institution was later chartered as a university in 1912. It bears the name of the Jesuit patron, Saint Ignatius of Loyola. Loyola is one of 28 member institutions that make up the Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities and, with its current enrollment of approximately 5000 students, is among the larger Jesuit universities in the southern United States. Loyola University New Orleans is ranked fifth best institution among Southern regional universities offering masters and undergraduate degrees in the 2008 issue of the annual America's Best Colleges issue and guidebook published by U.S. News & World Report. The Princeton Review also features Loyola New Orleans in the 2007 edition of its annual book, The Best 361 Colleges.

History

Founding

In the early 18th century Jesuits first arrived among the earliest settlers in New Orleans and Louisiana.

Loyola University New Orleans was founded by the Society of Jesus in 1904 as Loyola College on a section of the Foucher Plantation bought by the Jesuits in 1886. A young Jesuit, Fr. Albert Biever, was given a nickel for street car fare and told by his Jesuit superiors to travel Uptown on the St. Charles Streetcar and found a university. As with many Jesuit schools, it contained both a college and preparatory academy. The first classes of Loyola College were held in a residence behind Most Holy Name of Jesus Church. Fr. Biever was the first president. The first of Loyola's permanent buildings was undertaken in 1907, with Marquette Hall completed in 1910.

In 1911, the Jesuit schools in New Orleans were reorganized. The College of the Immaculate Conception, founded in 1847 in downtown New Orleans, split its high school and college divisions and became solely a secondary institution, now known as Jesuit High School. Loyola was designated as the collegiate institution and was chartered as Loyola University on July 10, 1912.

Question: How is the University of Loyola in New Orleans. ?

how hard is it to get in. Is it kinda messed up from Katrina?. what do they specialize in? pleaz dont give me a website. i kinda wanna hear ppls personal opinion
14 months ago

Best Answer

Loyola in New Orleans has a good academic reputation and it is a full university (Bachelors, Masters, and Doctorate degrees) plus Loyola has a law school. The campus was partly flooded by Katrina but has been repaired. It is in a very nice neighborhood. All of the universities in New Orleans are re-building their attendence post-Katrina, so getting in will be easier than before the storm. It is a Catholic university but many non-Catholics attend the school (they don't push religion on you). You should re-post your question in the New Orleans section of the Travel category to get more answers from locals. Good luck!

Question: whats the difference between loyola unversity new orleans and loyola university chicago?

they both have similar addmission requirements, so are they connected?
31 months ago

Best Answer

They are vaguely connected in the sense that they are both originally Jesuit institutions named after Loyola (founder of the Jesuits -- you can look him up on Wiki). The New Orleans school is probably a little more eager to get some students in there -- but if they suffered hurricane Katrina damage they could really be struggling financially which CAN affect the quality of education, regardless of what they tell you. Loyola of Chicago is a good school.

It's uptown off of St.Charles. It's right next to Tulane and across the street from the Audubon park. Loyola University New Orleans 6363 St. Charles Avenue New Orleans, Louisiana 70118
