Loyola Marymount University is a dynamic, comprehensive Catholic university in the Jesuit and Marymount traditions. Our 152 acre hilltop campus is in Westchester, a friendly residential neighborhood removed from the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles, yet with easy access to all the richness of our most cosmopolitan community. One mile from the ocean, our students enjoy ocean and mountain vistas as well as the moderate climate and crisp breezes characteristic of a coastal location. LMU is a student centered university, dedicated to academic excellence, the education of the whole person, and to the preparation of our students for lives of leadership and service to their communities, professions and families.
