Loyola University Maryland is a private Jesuit university in Baltimore, Maryland. Established as Loyola College in Maryland by John Early and eight other members of the Society of Jesus in 1852, it is the ninth-oldest Jesuit college in the United States and the first college in the United States to bear the name of St. Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Society of Jesus.
This is a solid option for students who want a small, mission-driven Catholic university in a real city — the 80% graduation rate and $78,300 median earnings suggest most students who enroll actually finish and land on their feet financially. The 76% acceptance rate means it's accessible without being a rubber-stamp admit, and the $23,882 median debt is reasonable relative to those earnings. The main thing to weigh is the $29,633 average net price — make sure your aid package is genuinely competitive, because that annual cost adds up fast over four years.
