Loyola University New Orleans is a higher education institution based in New Orleans, Louisiana. It offers undergraduate, graduate, and professional degrees across liberal arts, sciences, business, law, nursing, religion, and environmental studies, supported by a Jesuit-centered tradition that emphasizes strong faculty, curriculum, and student outcomes. The university aims to combine the size and breadth of a larger institution with an environment that prioritizes the individual student, and its alumni pursue impact locally and abroad. In 2026, Loyola broadened access through a statewide transfer partnership with the Louisiana Community and Technical College System that guarantees admission to its online Bachelor of Applied Science for graduates of the state's community and technical colleges. The university has also formalized collaborations with Fletcher Technical Community College and Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College to expand pathways, reflecting a regional effort to align higher education with workforce needs across the Gulf South. Earlier in the year, Patricia 'Trish' Nugent was appointed dean of the University Library.
