Ignatian Way
As a Jesuit, Marymount institution, Loyola Marymount is grounded in and animated by a 500-year-old tradition: a way of understanding the world and human life that was first articulated by St. Ignatius of Loyola and his earliest companions at the founding of the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits). The principles and practices of Ignatian spirituality and pedagogy shape everything we do at LMU as well as our vision of the education we provide.
