Does anyone know where Loyola ranks nationally? I know rankings aren't everything, but I would like to have a general idea of where they stand. I couldn't find anything definitive online, and I'm seriously considering applying there.
Loyola University has different campuses, so its rankings will vary. However, it's one of the respected institutions across the country, known for certain strong programs.
Loyola University Chicago, for instance, was ranked #142 in National Universities by U.S. News & World Report in its 2025 edition. Part of its strong reputation comes from its well-regarded programs, such as its School of Nursing, School of Business, and School of Social Work, among other disciplines.
On the other hand, Loyola University Maryland, another campus, was ranked #7 in Regional Universities North also by U.S. News & World Report.
Remember, though, that rankings only capture some aspects of an institution. It's essential to look beyond rankings and consider other factors such as campus culture, teaching quality, availability of resources, internships, and research opportunities, the strength of alumni network, and fit with your specific career and academic goals when considering a university.
