Trajectory of Success
Loyola Marymount University graduates are in high demand among employers throughout Los Angeles and beyond. Whether graduate students enter their program looking for new vocational opportunities or eager to enhance their position with an existing employer, all leave confident in their ability to be changemakers in their industries and earn the leadership positions that will drive their careers forward.
Educational return on investment
LMU graduates enter the working world with a competitive advantage – an ability to demonstrate the value of their degree both professionally and financially. Lions are in high demand among employers throughout Los Angeles and beyond, and often pursue career trajectories that result in leadership positions at their company of choice. Families’ investment in an LMU education is largely manageable, evidenced both by LMU’s low average student loan debt and loan default rates.
- 84%
- Students receiving institutional gift aid.
- $19,500
- Median federal debt of borrowers who completed their degree (College Scorecard).
- 0.0
- Final Cohort Default Rate for 2020. *Compared to the 0.0% national average (as a result of the pandemic student loan repayment pause), 0.45% California average, and 0.0% four-year, private nonprofit average Cohort Default Rates for 2020.
Internships and
real-world experience
Over two-thirds of LMU students take advantage of internships during their college experience, building desirable skills while connecting classroom learning to real world situations in the for-profit, non-profit, government, and service sectors.
Working closely with Career and Professional Development (CPD), students have access to over 525,000 companies annually through Handshake, LMU’s online career management portal. Internships can be completed as nearby as Los Angeles and as far away as any international location of the student’s choosing. Students often elect to register their internships for academic credit.
International and transfer students are offered comparable opportunities as first-year students, successfully completing internships and going on to rewarding careers.

Silicon Beach: L.A.’s career frontier
Faculty enhance student learning by bringing the classroom to employers. The adjacent neighborhood of “Silicon Beach” in Playa Vista is home to over 500 technology start-up companies, as well as global giants such as Facebook, Google, Snapchat, YouTube, and Yahoo! The entrepreneurial spirit and energy of Silicon Beach is endless, as are the opportunities for students to connect and engage with the employers who reside there.
Industry Connections that Matter
LMU’s three Los Angeles campuses – Westchester, Playa Vista, and Downtown L.A. – provide convenient access to the city’s major industry hubs focusing on arts and entertainment, innovation and technology, law, educational leadership, and business and entrepreneurship. Working closely with Career and Professional Development (CPD), graduate students have access to over 525,000 companies annually through Handshake, LMU’s online career management portal.
A Network of Opportunity
With a degree from Loyola Marymount University, your professional network will grow far beyond campus. As we like to put it… “Once a Lion, Always a Lion.” That ensures graduate students join an engaged and passionate alumni network over 100,000 members strong. Students also receive access to The Pride, an online mentoring platform that connects LMU students to search for alumni by company, region, major, and more to build professional and purposeful connections.
Living a life of purpose
The return on investment of an LMU education goes well beyond financial. Rooted in the Jesuit tradition, LMU’s commitment to service and justice fosters learning that allows Lions to see themselves in others. This is exemplified by the sizable number of alumni who pursue work in organizations such as Teach for America, the Peace Corps and Jesuit Volunteer Corps.
Lions are committed to service from the moment they set foot on campus. Students volunteer nearly 200,000 service hours a year with 250 community organizations. More than 400 alumni volunteer annually through LMU’s global alumni community service program, Alumni for Others.
