About

Loyola University Maryland is a private Jesuit liberal arts institution anchored in the tradition of *cura personalis* (care for the whole person), renowned for robust programs in business through the Sellinger School of Business, speech-language pathology, engineering, and psychology. A distinctive hallmark of the undergraduate experience is the Messina first-year program, an interdisciplinary living-learning community that pairs linked coursework with dedicated faculty mentoring to foster intellectual and personal growth. Student life is tight-knit, service-driven, and situated in a residential neighborhood of northern Baltimore, with strong campus spirit centered on community engagement and NCAA Division I Greyhounds athletics, particularly men's and women's lacrosse.

Wikipedia:Loyola University Maryland is a private Jesuit university in Baltimore, Maryland. Established as Loyola College in Maryland by John Early and eight other members of the Society of Jesus in 1852, it is the ninth-oldest Jesuit college in the United States and the first college in the United States to bear the name of St. Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Society of Jesus.
