Jesuit Tradition

“In the Ignation tradition, Loyola University endeavors to develop students into a new generation of leaders who possess a love for truth, the critical intelligence to pursue it, and the eloquence to articulate it. The goal of a Loyola education is not mere technical competence but wisdom and social responsibility.”

From Loyola University New Orleans’ Statement of Educational Purpose

Loyola University New Orleans has been offering a Master of Business Administration degree since 1961. For over 40 years we have striven to incorporate the traditions of Jesuit education into the program. This is evidenced through our teaching styles, close interaction between faculty and students, community service requirements, leadership classes, global perspective, and rigorous curriculum.

Jesuits have a long and valued history of education in New Orleans. Loyola’s roots reach back to 1849. Many of our students choose our program because they are beneficiaries of Jesuit education through high school or college. But Loyola welcomes students of all faiths. The principles of a Jesuit education are universal.
