Laissez les bons temps rouler! (New Orleans French for “Let the good times roll!”)

The Department of Languages and Cultures at Loyola University New Orleans offers degree programs in Classical Studies, French, Spanish, and Latin American Studies. These programs are designed to train students in both the target language and the culture of those countries where the language is/was spoken. Students university-wide can use their General Elective allowance to study languages from our global world including German and Italian.

We believe in educating the whole person through rigorous academic studies and plentiful cultural experiences. We encourage you to immerse yourself in campus life at Loyola by taking advantage of the many services we have to offer.

As a Loyola student, you have the opportunity to work alongside our talented professors to partner in collaborative research. Learn more about some recent research and projects currently underway.
