Academics
OUR ANCHOR,
YOUR
COMPASS
The core. It has defined us for more than 150 years. And it will define you for a lifetime. The core curriculum at Loyola is the foundation for a rich and meaningful intellectual life. In the core, you'll be exposed to critical knowledge in a wide variety of subjects including math, philosophy, ethics, art, and theology. Some you'll be familiar with, while others will be completely new to you. Some will force you out of your comfort zone. By studying the core, you'll develop lifelong habits of curiosity, honesty, persistence, and a passion for the pursuit of knowledge. When the time comes to do something different for a living (and research shows that it will), you'll be ready.
Curriculum & Faculty
AN OPEN DOOR
OPEN MINDS POLICY.
At Loyola, it's hard not to become immersed in every subject. After all, when you're learning from professors who are as passionate about their chosen areas of study as our faculty is, their passion tends to rub off a bit. Loyola professors are widely recognized in their fields - but they always make time to see to it that you are becoming the scholar, the person, they know you can become. And once you hone in on your subject of choice (who knows, your interest might stem from a core course you never thought you'd take), we have 37 majors and minors to choose from.
Special Programs
SOLDIER,
SCIENTIST,
OR STUDY
ABROAD
Student is one thing you'll be called while at Loyola, but how about humanitarian? Does soldier suit you? What about world traveler or scientific researcher? At Loyola, your experience doesn't end in the classroom - and our special programs offer the challenge you're looking for. Whether it's through the humanities, ROTC, study abroad, or research programs, you'll have the chance to add another dimension (or three) to your education at Loyola.
Honors & Scholars
Academics, Accelerated
Each year Loyola accepts approximately 50 of our most intellectually curious first-year students into the Honors Program. Want to be one of them? With perks like free activities (paid trip to NYC, anyone?) and a curriculum of challenging - and rewarding - courses, who wouldn't? There's just one catch: Loyola University Maryland has a separate application for the Honors Program. Get more details by clicking here.

Academic Advising
The “A”s In Our Name
Are No Accident
At the Academic Advising and Support Center (AASC), we're behind you from the first day you register for classes, to the day we hand you your diploma. We help you maneuver through each academic process with ease - from initial registration to declaring your major to graduation clearance, and everything in between. We also provide additional guidance for part-time and transfer students, students with learning disabilities, and students on academic probation. We're your personal life-at-Loyola coach.
Special Interest Housing Program
LIVING
& LEARNING
At Loyola, Living and Learning communities are designed to help students meet other first-year students through themed residential experiences. Each community offers programs and activities, from off-campus trips to dinner parties to guest speakers, based on specific academic interests. It's living combined with learning. Or simply, Living and Learning. So you can share your thoughts on Chavez along with chicken dinner. After all, a Loyola education doesn't end when you leave the classroom.
