Our Mission
The mission of the School of Education is to provide inspirational teaching, conduct and disseminate innovative scholarship, and actualize social justice practices with school and community partners. Faculty and staff employ the principles inherent in cura personalis, caring for the whole person, in the development of transformational educators who will learn, lead and serve in the diverse and changing communities of Baltimore, the state, the nation, and the world.

About Loyola
Our commitment to education and social justice stems from a 450-year-old Jesuit tradition that values academic excellence, integrity, service, community, and discernment. We aim to educate whole persons, in intellect, consciousness, and spirit so that they leave here with the knowledge, compassion, and moral compass to lead the way for others. Our mission is to prepare educators who can bring about fundamental change for a student, a school, or a system.
Graduate Admission
The office of graduate admission serves all prospective graduate students by providing initial enrollment information on behalf of the graduate programs. The graduate admission team works in partnership with the various program directors and department chairs to provide prospective students with inquiry fulfillment services, application processing, enrollment commitment, and initial enrollment services. The academic programs provide advising, orientation, and ongoing enrollment services. We welcome your emails, telephone calls, or personal visits to our main campus or graduate centers.
President's Council on Equity and Inclusion
The President’s Advisor Council on Equity and Inclusion was established in 2017 with a mission of educating leaders, both at and produced by Loyola, for a diverse and changing world with a commitment to diversity as a necessary component of academic excellence. Made up of administrators, faculty and staff, the advisory council explores and issues recommendations to improve diversity, equity, and inclusion at the university.

…I was drawn here because of the explicit commitment to social justice and working collaboratively with local schools to ensure academic excellence for all learners in urban schools. In the School of Education we view students and families in urban communities through a strengths-based lens and value diversity as a rich resource.
