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 Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics make the world go ’round.

Those who brave these fields are visionaries.

Pioneers. They quantify the natural world – and dare to improve upon it.

They cure things. They build bridges and create global networks. Somewhere, one of them is working on a flying car. Because THOSE WORKING IN STEM DISCOVER – and often invent – the language of the modern world.

At Loyola, we’ll help you find your scientific process. We’ll turn you into an observer. A categorizer. An explorer. And you’ll go on to shape the future into something better than we can imagine.

The very things that make AI successful today ­— the availability of comprehensive data and the ability for machines to make sense of that data ­— TOM GRUBER ’81 can be applied to the data of our lives.”

MAJOR: C OMPUTER SCIENCE

MAJOR: C HEMISTRY

Gaming is more than a hobby – it’s an art form. It’s a storytelling medium and a vehicle for change. We’ll teach you to use this new medium to build experiences that are immersive and practical – and relevant to fields as diverse as health care, business, and the military.

The world is full of questions. Whether you want to be a toxicologist testing the safety of our water and soil or a forensic chemist analyzing crime scene evidence, we need people like you – people with answers. Our chemistry degree will prepare you for a career of solving problems and answering tough questions.

WITH GAME PROGRAMMING

MAJOR: P SYCHOLOGY

Master the human mind, and learn what makes people tick.

Courses as varied as developmental psychology, abnormal psychology, and behavioral neuroscience will prepare you for a wide range of scientific and commercial careers.

MAJOR: P RE-MED/PRE-HEALTH

Know you want to work in the medical field? The departments of biological sciences, chemistry, physics, and psychology offer pre-health curricula to prepare students for advanced degrees in medicine.

MAJOR: B IOLOGY

Life’s amazing. Or chaotic, beautiful, unfair, and too short.

But a biologist says that life is discoverable. Medicine, molecular genetics, botany, ecology, psychology, zoology – this program is the first step toward all of these fields and more.

AND FORENSIC CHEMISTRY

MAJOR: P HYSICS

Einstein. Newton. Hawking. Bohr. And you. The great geniuses of physics have pushed the understanding of our universe forward. At Loyno, we’ll give you the tools you need to be part of that adventure.

MAJOR: E NVIRONMENTAL STUDIES

Environmental studies is more than science. It is selfreflection. Philosophical discourse. It is the study of how we interact with our environment and what happens when we do. This major prepares you to lead a meaningful life and work for a more just and sustainable world.

t h g i l t o Sp

SHAAWN ALI ’08 “In an age of globalization and multiculturalism, I feel Loyola was able to give me a head start in meeting and learning about people from various backgrounds and beliefs. I feel this exposure has allowed me to relate better with people I come across on a daily basis in my medical practice.”

Shaawn currently works at LSU Health Center New Orleans as a primary care sports medicine fellow. He previously has worked as chief resident at Westchester General Hospital in Miami and, through this residency, worked in Pakistan at the Punjab Institute of Cardiology and the Shaukat Khanum, a famous nonprofit hospital.

CULLEN LILLEY ’17 “I didn’t have to pick between my passions.”

Cullen is the first student at Loyola to successfully complete a dual major in biology and music. In order to do this, he was required to complete 150 credit hours of coursework (30 more hours than the B.S. or B.M. required). He graduated with a perfect 4.0 GPA.

ANNALISA SEGA ’17 “At Loyola, I decided I wanted to be a doctor. I realized I was more.”

Annalisa originally wanted to be physician assistant, but after coming to Loyola, she discovered her passion to become a surgeon. She pursued her dream by completing research at Yale Cardiovascular Research Center as a recipient of the American Heart Association Founders Affiliate Undergraduate Student Summer Research Fellowship. The focus of her research was molecular signaling and blood-brain barriers in preterm babies.

MICHAEL PASHKEVICH ’17 “My Jesuit education instilled in me the need to link my research to environmental and social justice.”

Michael came to Loyola as an undeclared major, having no idea what he wanted to study. At Loyola, he found his path and began studying spiders. He is now one of 36 Gates Cambridge scholars from the U.S. this year. He will start Ph.D. research in zoology at the University of Cambridge, focusing on the functional role of spiders in Southeast Asian oil palm plantations.

There, he’ll examine how plantation management techniques affect overall spider biodiversity and also will be a member of the Insect Ecology Group in the Department of Zoology.

In the 2017

Princeton Review Survey,

students said Loyola is:

“As diverse as the city around it. People from all walks of life come here to learn and become. There is no such thing as an outsider.”

“A spicy bowl of gumbo you didn’t expect.”

“A place made for students to stand out.”

“Home away from home that shapes individuals for the real world.”
