Admissions

Overall

From The School


Each year, our goal as a university is to enroll a class of talented, motivated, diverse students from around the country and globe. We admit students whom we believe will make unique contributions to Loyola's academic and campus community—and who seem best suited to take advantage of everything Loyola has to offer. And while we consider several factors in the admission decision, the most important is academic merit, as demonstrated by performance in high school. We also consider demonstrated character strengths, leadership ability, and potential as evidenced in essays, recommendations, and extracurricular involvement.

First-year students apply online using the Common Application. Loyola offers two non-binding fall admission deadlines for first-year students: Early Action (Nov. 15) and Regular Decision (Jan. 15). A Spring semester deadline (Nov. 15) is also available for first-year students who have not completed any college coursework after high school. Applicants must submit the following to be considered for admission: completed Common Application, $60 Application Fee, Official High School Transcript, High School Counselor Recommendation, High School Teacher Recommendation, and SAT/ACT scores* (Loyola is a test-optional—test scores are not required for admission or scholarship consideration). For detailed information on the first-year admission process, please visit www.loyola.edu/apply-now or contact us at admission@loyola.edu.

Transfer students apply online using the Common Application for transfer students. Students who enrolled in courses at another college after the completion of high school are considered transfer students. Transfer applications are welcomed on a rolling basis throughout the year. The fall application deadline is July 15, and the spring application deadline is Nov. 15. Applicants must submit the following to be considered for admission: completed Common Application, Transfer Student Conduct Form for each institution attended, Official High School Transcript, Official College Transcript(s) including current semester courses, and $60 application fee. For detailed information on the transfer admission process, please visit www.loyola.edu/transfer or contact us at transferadmission@loyola.edu.

International applicants can apply for first-year or transfer admission and are required to submit additional material with their application. Visit www.loyola.edu/internationaladmission for details.

Majors and Degrees Offered


There's a simple reason a comprehensive liberal arts experience has been the Jesuit educational standard for nearly 500 years: it works. No other academic program better prepares students to meet the various and complex challenges that await—today, tomorrow, and 20 years from now. No other academic experience better prepares students to lead a life full of intellectual inquiry, creative output, meaning, and professional fulfilment. With a 12:1 student-to-faculty ratio and an average class size of 20, students who experience the Jesuit approach to education at Loyola University Maryland graduate with uniquely powerful traits: bright minds, bold hearts, and broad global knowledge. They embrace and thrive—and go on to succeed—in our wondrous, interconnected, and complicated world.

The curriculum at Loyola is divided into three parts: the core, the major, and elective courses. The core contains courses essential to the liberal arts foundation of a Jesuit education: a classical or foreign language, literature, writing, natural and applied science, social science, fine arts, history, philosophy, ethics, diversity, and theology, and these courses are completed by all students throughout their study. Majors enable students to pursue their specialized area of study in depth. Elective courses give students the opportunity to broaden their intellectual and cultural background in areas of special interest. To prepare for graduate study, students may enroll in one of three pre-professional programs: pre-health, pre-medical, or pre-law. Through service-learning, research, practicums, field experience, internships, and independent study, students extend classroom learning throughout their coursework and obtain valuable skills and experience.

Messina, Loyola's first-year living learning program, is designed to help students adjust quickly to college-level work and forge a clear path to success at Loyola and in the life and career that will follow. Messina offers both a distinctive and powerful beginning as an opportunity to explore a wide range of academic disciplines, appreciate their interconnectedness, and take to heart the importance of learning in a student's personal and intellectual growth.

Students Say

The Jesuits have a long history of excellence in higher education, and that tradition is richly reflected in the academic programs at Loyola University in Maryland. The undergraduate experience is built around Loyola's "fantastic core curriculum," which ensures "a solid foundation in the natural sciences, English, history, philosophy, and theology." Through the core, students across disciplines "take some awesome classes that will completely change your perspective on the world." Jesuit values and philosophy are emphasized in the coursework, yet the school strikes the "right balance between religion, spirituality, and the everyday life of college students." No matter what field you choose to study, "the academics are outstanding and the coursework is challenging." A true teaching university, Loyola professors use "different learning techniques to cater to everyone's different learning styles." Professors "actually know each of their students by name." Serving as both personal and academic mentors, Loyola professors "get to know you personally, take time out of their office hours to have intellectual discussions, show you how to learn and how to teach, and help you out when you are having difficulties." The relationship can even extend off campus, as it's "fairly common for professors to give out their personal cell phone numbers or to even invite the class to their home for dinner." There's extensive "academic support" and tutoring for students in every discipline, and the "Career Center is open for students starting at day one." Though some would like to see a "larger variety of classes" for undergraduates, many praise the "excellent study abroad program," which offers the opportunity to spend a year in one of 14 countries.

Tuition & Aid

Overview

From The School


Tuition, Room, Board and Fees


Undergraduate tuition for the 2022-23 academic year is $53,430. Campus housing costs range from $11,050 $12,450 per year, depending on the type of residence hall. The minimum meal plan for first-year residential students is $5,540. Loyola does not charge a comprehensive fee separate from tuition.

Financial Aid


As a Jesuit university, we are committed to making a Loyola education affordable and attainable for students from all financial backgrounds. That?s why 99% of students currently enrolled at Loyola are receiving some form of aid—and our average net price for first-time students who receive aid is $25,782. Once you factor in merit scholarships and other forms of financial aid, you may discover that the actual out-of-pocket cost to attend Loyola is more affordable than you think. Our generous financial aid packages can help fill the financial gap between the total cost of attendance and what your family can contribute.

Students can apply for need-based financial aid in one easy step—by submitting the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Please note that international, DACA, and undocumented applicants must submit the CSS Profile Application to be considered for need-based aid. The financial aid application deadline is February 15.

In addition to need-based financial aid, all students (first-year, transfer, DACA/undocumented, international) are eligible to receive merit-based scholarships from Loyola. Every student who completes an application for admission is automatically considered for merit scholarship funding—no separate application is required. Students are notified of their merit scholarship at the time of admission.

From The School


You'll be hard-pressed to find a Loyola student who sits still for too long. Greyhounds are a busy breed. In addition to demanding academics and full course loads, most also have jobs, are involved in multiple clubs and organizations, serve in and engage with the community, explore Baltimore, hold internships or conduct research alongside faculty, champion a cause or charity, attend athletic events and cheer on the Hounds, and have packed social calendars. Your immersion in our diverse campus community will be one of the most transformative aspects of your life at Loyola. You'll meet and befriend people with backgrounds, interests, talents, and dreams that are vastly different from your own. This environment will sometimes be challenging—but it will also be life-changing. You'll see the world in a new light, reconsider your own perspectives, and learn just as much from your peers and professors as you do from your studies.

Students Say

In addition to being predominantly Catholic, "many of the students are white, from New York or New Jersey, and come from private high schools." You'll see plenty of "UGGs, North Face, pearls, and J. Crew" around campus. Although "the student body may appear homogenous," students insist that "everyone can fit in well if you get past the initial stereotypes and immerse yourself in the opportunities Loyola has to offer." On that note, students "try to live out the core values of the university and enjoy being a contributing member of school community." Here, students "care about their academics and do well in school, but they also try to balance that with extracurriculars and their spiritual life." On the whole, the campus is "really welcoming and trustworthy," with a "great sense of community." With so many ways to get involved, most students "find their niche at Loyola very quickly."

Campus Life

Overview

From The School


Location


Loyola's campus is located in a residential area of north Baltimore, five miles from the city's Inner Harbor area. This location offers students the advantage of quiet residential living with the attractions and amenities of city life. Other colleges and universities in the vicinity help to expand the social calendar and academic life. The fourth-largest metropolitan area in the United States, Baltimore/Washington D.C. has a wide variety of theaters, museums, professional and intercollegiate sports events, and historical points of interest.

The Evergreen campus is, quite simply, what college should be: picture grassy quadrangles filled with frisbees and picnic lunches, historic academic buildings that inspire you to crack open your books, and comfortable residence halls where you have life-changing conversations, discover new favorite bands, and eat a whole lot of pizza. We invite you to explore our facilities, buildings, and 80 acres of wooded Maryland landscape through our photo gallery. Of course, there's no better way to learn about Loyola than to experience it firsthand—so plan your visit today!

At Loyola, you'll belong to a community that's big enough to challenge and inspire you, yet small enough for you to feel connected, supported, and valued. It's no wonder that 81% of undergraduates choose to live on campus through their senior year.

Unlike many urban campuses, Loyola's occupies the best of two worlds: our beautiful, wooded Evergreen campus is distinct from the surrounding city, yet intimately connected to the diverse and quirky metropolis we call home. You'll draw inspiration and knowledge from Baltimore's unique culture, history, people, neighborhoods, and institutions—and discover ways to make your own mark on a city you'll quickly come to love.

Campus Facilities & Equipment


Loyola's campus is like a city within a city: theaters, art galleries, and sports arenas. A library, bookstore, student center, and state-of-the-art fitness center. Places of worship. An innovation lab and a data analytics and visualization lab. Great places to eat that offer fresh, made-from-scratch food and multiple student meal plans. A student-run radio station, literary journal, publishing house, and newspaper. Spacious, modern, fully furnished double-room and apartment-style homes—equipped with heating and air conditioning, laundry facilities, vending machines, and recreation areas—provide all the comforts of home... and then some. Loyola's seven residence halls combine the comfort and space of top-notch accommodations with the activity of dorm life.

Off-Campus Opportunities


Did you know 120,000 students live and learn in Baltimore at 13 colleges and universities? There are countless things for you to explore, learn, love, and discover as a college student in Baltimore. Here are just five:

It's affordable. Baltimore offers world-class theater and performing arts, concerts, incredible food, festivals, and cultural events—with none of the pretension or the price tag of other cities.

It's accessible. Baltimore is walkable, drivable, bikeable, and easy to navigate. A ticket for the Baltimore Water Taxi, which stops at multiple points within and around the harbor, is good for an entire day. Take advantage of Baltimore's public transportation with a day pass for the metro subway, hop on a local bus, or explore the city for free via the Charm City Circulator.

It's manageable. Referred to as "Smalltimore" by the locals, Baltimore is made up of many distinct neighborhoods, each with its own personality. It's big enough that you'll never run out of things to do, see, and eat, yet small enough to be familiar and not overwhelming.

It's FUN. Where else can you crack crabs on a waterfront deck listening to live music? Ride a bike as part of an organized monthly parade featuring thousands of other people wearing themed costumes? Play beach volleyball a stone's throw from the downtown business district? Picnic and play Wiffle ball in the same site that inspired our country's national anthem?

It's a great place to launch your career—and your life. A burgeoning technology sector. Second-to-none in biotech and biohealth. One of the fastest-growing hubs for pharmaceuticals and forensics in the country. Growing, affordable neighborhoods ideal for young professionals. Fertile ground to start a business, and at a low relative cost. The rich soil of Baltimore has been tilled—and it's ready for the innovative ideas and passionate action of Loyola students and graduates.

More than 60% of Loyola students study abroad/ during their time at Loyola. Loyola offers study abroad programs in: Accra, Ghana; Amsterdam, Netherlands; Athens, Greece; Auckland, New Zealand; Bangkok, Thailand; Beijing, China; Berlin, Germany; Budapest, Hungary; Buenos Aires, Argentina; Cape Town, South Africa; Copenhagen, Denmark; Cork, Ireland; Dubai, United Arab Emirates; Glasgow, Scotland; Leuven, Belgium; Lyon, France; Madrid, Spain; Melbourne, Australia; Montpellier, France; Newcastle, England; Osaka, Japan; Paris, France; Rome, Italy; Santiago, Chile; Seoul, South Korea; Singapore; and Stockholm, Sweden. Loyola also participates in exchange programs with several other countries, offers summer and winter study tours, and assists students in applying to a variety of non-Loyola affiliated international study programs each year.

Students Say

Loyola students juggle school, service, spirituality, and social life with extraordinary flair. Monday through Friday, most undergraduates are "insanely busy doing loads of homework, projects, reading, community service, clubs, lectures, [and] sports." Of particular note, Loyola offers "amazing opportunities to get involved in the Baltimore community through service." In fact, the school uses "Baltimore city as an extension of the classroom," where students learn about real life, rather than living in a college bubble. On the weekends, things slow down around campus, though students can partake of the "numerous speakers, movies, events, or sporting events" hosted by the university. In addition, "a lot of people go out to bars on Fridays and Saturdays," because "there is no Greek life" on campus and Loyola's strict alcohol policies make it difficult to throw parties. Loyola students can be found out and about in Baltimore, "going out to eat, catching an Orioles game, attending a concert at the BSO, [or] walking around the harbor." "Most students live on campus" during the school year, enjoying a surprisingly comfortable lifestyle in Loyola's cushy dormitories. If you score a spot in one of the suites, you and your roommates will "have full kitchens in your dorm by sophomore year."
