We are excited that you are considering Loyola University Maryland as you explore your options for university studies! Founded in 1852, Loyola has a long history of academic distinction and career preparation—students who attend will be challenged intellectually and encouraged to build a worldview that will guide their actions long after they graduate.
Loyola uniquely balances the importance of human connection with the necessity for serious career preparation. Accordingly, we have been recognized nationally for both excellence in undergraduate teaching, and rank in the top 2% in the United States for return on investment. Here, you will find both a welcoming home and a strong foundation for your future.
Any student who will need a visa to study in the United States, or who already holds a valid U.S. visa, will be considered as an international student.
