About This School

Loyola University New Orleans has an open or accessible admissions process, with an acceptance rate of 93%. The average net price after financial aid is $23,696 per year.

Loyola University New Orleans is a private Jesuit university in New Orleans, Louisiana, United States. Originally established as Loyola College in 1904, the institution was chartered as a university in 1912. It bears the name of the Jesuit founder, Saint Ignatius of Loyola, and is a member of the Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: a 67% graduation rate and 77% freshman retention suggest a meaningful portion of students don't finish, which is worth asking about directly. On the positive side, median debt at graduation is a reasonable $18,500, and the New Orleans location offers a genuinely distinctive cultural and professional environment, particularly for students interested in music, law, or business. Worth considering if you're drawn to a small Jesuit community and have a clear plan to stay on track — but go in with eyes open about the retention trends.
