Keep your dreams big, and follow them fearlessly — the Wolf Pack is behind you.

This is a campus that cherishes its diversity and thrives on differences of opinion. Here, tradition complements revolution; hard science collaborates with art. Students of all cultural backgrounds push and transform together, and they do it with soul – by being 100 percent themselves.

On this campus, you will be inspired.

Your neighbors will be inventors, makers, storytellers, scientists, entrepreneurs, musicians, and artists. They’ll start businesses and create masterpieces for fun. And they’ll help each other succeed every step of the way.

Loyola Changing the game — that’s your business.

In New Orleans, and especially at Loyola, you join a group of innovative young professionals with a creative new perspective. You work alongside not just leading businesspeople and experts from every industry but also artists and musicians to develop your acumen for local and global business. You’ll have revolutionary ideas, and you’ll do hands-on work with local employers and entrepreneurs.

And most important, with our BUSINESS PORTFOLIO CAREER PROGRAM, you’ll get real-world work experience with internships and business community mentors, so by the time you’re looking for a job – you’ll have already had one.

Industry has been disrupted.

Its pace, accelerated. And the board room—abolished.

In the face of wild, global changes to both industries and consumers, Loyola’s College of Business focuses on the big things you need to thrive in the digitally minded new world of business – hands-on experience and the construction of an entrepreneurial spirit.

Turning big ideas into big business is fundamentally about learning how to monetize your imagination. At Loyola, we understand the creative economy, and our programs are designed to turn your passion into something meaningful.

We are not here to create businesses.

We are here to invest in people, to cultivate an innovation-ready work force that pushes entrepreneurship to the next level.”

JON ATKINSON Founding Director of Loyola’s Center for Entrepreneurship
