The Loyola University New Orleans MBA program is challenging. It uses a rigorous curriculum designed to teach you to think critically and act decisively. But that doesn’t mean you’ll be left behind. From the moment you enroll, you become part of a team – a community. One that’s committed to helping one another toward success because you know you’re in the company of your very own budding business network. Here, a group of entrepreneurial spirits gather from diverse backgrounds and financial situations to become New Orleans’ greatest think tank. You can customize your class schedules to fit into your current professional situations, and when you set foot on this campus, you share ideas with one another that build the future of business – local and global – in real, tangible ways. Because at Loyola, the greatest education you’ll receive is hands-on, experiential learning. Your classroom experience extends into the city of New Orleans. We have several partnerships throughout the city’s business community that will offer you real-world opportunities before you even graduate – professional experiences that make a difference on your résumé.
The Loyola University New Orleans College of Business was just named among the best business schools in the nation by the Princeton Review. Here are some of the things our students told them: “I was shocked to learn how easily accessible my professors were. They really are interested in your education and your life and they want you to succeed! In fact, they will put in extra hours to make sure you do just that.” “Coming to class is like meeting with friends and family every night.”
There’s nothing stopping you from advancing your career. And with a Loyola MBA, there's nothing stopping you, period.
