“Strong Truths Well Lived”
Our mission here at Loyola University Maryland is to provide students with a warm environment that fosters creativity, academic excellence, and self-reflection. The Jesuit education is founded on the principle of “Cura Personalis”: care for the whole individual. Students grow physically, mentally, spiritually, and emotionally, both inside and outside the classroom, and the faculty are dedicated to their students’ success and well-being. The following articles detailing the Mission of our Jesuit university will give you a sense of what makes Loyola’s community so strong and diverse.
