About this School
Loyola College in Maryland, formerly Loyola College, is a private, coeducational university in Baltimore, Maryland, United States, affiliated with the Society of Jesus and the Roman Catholic Church. Founded in 1852 by Father John Early and eight other members of the Society of Jesus, Loyola College in Maryland is one of 28 member institutions of the Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities. The school prides itself on its Ignatian heritage, commitment to the educational and spiritual traditions of the Jesuit order, and belief in liberal education that develops the whole person. The College's first "campus" was a modest house on Holliday Street in downtown Baltimore. In 1855, Loyola relocated to a larger facility in the City's historic Mount Vernon neighborhood. The College moved to its present Evergreen campus in north Baltimore in 1922. Evening classes commenced in 1942, and seven years later a graduate division in Education was established. The graduate degree program in Business Management was added in 1968, followed by graduate programs in Speech Pathology in 1971, and Finance in 1973. Today, the College's list of graduate programs has grown to include Psychology, Modern Studies, Pastoral Counseling, and Engineering Science. Loyola became coeducational in 1971, following a merger with Mount Saint Agnes College, a neighboring women's college. That same year, the College's Board of Trustees elected its first layman Chair. A decade later, Loyola established a separate business school - The Rev. Joseph A. Sellinger, Jr., School of Business and Management - to meet the demands of its growing undergraduate and graduate business programs. The 1994 approval for a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa - an honor for the Arts and Sciences faculty held by only 254 other institutions - complemented the 1988 accreditation of the Sellinger School by the American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business. A loyal alumni population, strong corporate and civic support, and the dedication and commitment of the laity who assist the Jesuit priests and the sisters of Mercy in their work have all helped make Loyola the institution it is today. Loyola College is the first college in the United States to bear the name of Saint Ignatius of Loyola, and is the ninth oldest among the nation's 28 Jesuit colleges and universities. In a 1990s agreement, the Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities gave exclusive branding rights to Loyola University Chicago to call itself Loyola University. Loyola College had to change its name to Loyola College in Maryland to avoid confusion in branding. The school's community has so far decided to retain the word college in its name despite having sufficient range to lay claim to the term university (see college for a discussion of the distinction between the two terms in American usage).
