The Joseph A. Butt, S.J., College of Business is the business school of Loyola University New Orleans, a Jesuit institution founded in 1912. The college is accredited by AACSB International, a distinction held by a small fraction of business schools worldwide, and is known for combining rigorous business training with Jesuit values of ethics, service, and the education of the whole person. It offers undergraduate majors, an MBA, and specialized graduate programs, and is particularly recognized for its small class sizes and personal faculty attention.
Students benefit from Loyola's location in uptown New Orleans, with access to the city's strong port, energy, healthcare, tourism, hospitality, and music and entertainment industries. The college emphasizes experiential learning through internships, consulting projects, and community engagement, and its programs in music industry studies, sustainability, and entrepreneurship reflect the city's unique economy. The campus community is close-knit, with active student organizations, a strong service orientation, and an alumni network deeply rooted in the Gulf South.
