[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In MD, the other state universities other than UMCP aren't great so a LAC it is. [/quote]

Which LACs? Washington college, Goucher, where are the LACs in MD? In VA? [/quote]

Loyola[/quote]

Loyola is not a liberal arts college. [/quote]

Yes, it is a LAC.

https://www.loyola.edu/about/

[i]The benefits of Loyola’s Jesuit, liberal arts experience lead to a life-long approach of learning and questioning and critical analysis that prepare our alumni for—and set them apart in—the workforce and the world.  [/i][/quote]

I hope this is a bored teen and not a
parent, otherwise you are a bit out of your depth. Just because a school offers a liberal arts curriculum does not mean it is a LAC. Many traditional universities offer a liberal arts curriculum or have colleges within the university that do so. Brown is a notable example. Loyola is in fact a university comprised of 3 or 4 schools IIRC. Please step your game up. [/quote]

Loyola has only been a university since around 2009. All students take the liberal arts core. The addition of the other schools doesn't change that part of it. Maybe it is now classified as a university but what makes a liberal arts education is still there. I wouldn't consider the school to even be a university since it's the same size as it was before that designation. They've added a bit more to the grad programs (mostly education programs) but it's still focused on undergrads (appr. 4,000 of them). I think it became a university and changed from Loyola College to Loyola University Maryland mostly as a way to distinguish itself from the other Loyolas. [/quote]
