Vision
Loyola University New Orleans seeks to strengthen its national reputation as a comprehensive university rooted in the Jesuit and Catholic educational tradition of the liberal arts and sciences. That tradition views liberal education as a way to free the intellect, imagination, and spirit of men and women so that they might lead lives of service with and for others. Loyola prepares men and women, undergraduate and graduate, to be scholarly and ethical practitioners, entrepreneurs, artists, and civic leaders. The university focuses on developing ethical character and awareness of social responsibility by asking essential questions about the self, the professions, and society.
