Loyola University Maryland has the following articulation agreements at the undergraduate level:
Students Graduating with Associates Degrees from Maryland Community Colleges
Loyola offers a new Seamless Transfer Program for students who have earned an associate degree from any Maryland community college. The program allows most associate-degree-holding transfer students to fully satisfy Loyola core requirements by taking one 200-level course in either theology or philosophy and an additional course in ethics.
Students who have not already completed two courses in a world language prior to transferring to Loyola can fulfill Loyola’s language requirement by taking two classes at Loyola.
Through the Seamless Transfer Program, and with close collaboration between community colleges and Loyola advisors on major requirements, students transferring from Maryland community colleges with an associate degree should be able to graduate from Loyola within two years.
