Join us as we celebrate a century of impact, innovation, and engagement - and look ahead to a future we can build together.

A Legacy of Impact and Innovation

When 13 students gathered in downtown Los Angeles in 1926 to take Loyola University’s first courses in economics and accounting, they could hardly have imagined the legacy they were beginning. Those modest classes laid the foundation for what is now LMU College of Business Administration – a place where generations of students have learned to lead with skill, integrity, and purpose.
