Biographical / Historical
Loyola Marymount University (LMU), located in Los Angeles, California, was founded as Loyola College of Los Angeles in
1911 by members of the Society of Jesus after the closure of St. Vincent’s College, a school for boys created by Vincentian
Fathers in 1865. Loyola College grew quickly and a new campus was selected in 1917. In 1920, Loyola College began
offering graduate level education by founding a separate law school. Official establishment of a graduate division would not
occur until June 1950 even though the law school continued to thrive and after a Teacher Education Program at Loyola
College had been created in 1948. Continued growth of the college prompted a second move for Loyola College in 1929 to
the current campus in Westchester. Incorporated as Loyola College in 1918, the school achieved official university status
in
1930. While Loyola University was experiencing a high growth rate in the early 20th century, so was the education program
offered by the Religious of Sacred Heart of Mary for young women that had begun in 1923. In 1933, Marymount Junior
College was opened in Westwood, Los Angeles. The college continued to grow; in 1948 the Junior College became a
four-year university and granted its first baccalaureate degrees in 1948. In 1960, Marymount College moved to a campus
on the Palos Verdes Peninsula to accommodate its growing student body. In 1968, Marymount College moved one last time
to share the Loyola University campus. Although the two schools shared a physical space, Marymount College and Loyola
University were still two separate schools and remained so for five more years. Loyola Marymount University was officially
named in 1973 after Loyola University and Marymount College merged.
Campus Ministry is dedicated to promoting the spritual growth and faith formation of LMU students, with ministry rooted in
the University's Roman Catholic identity. Campus Ministry reaches out to support people of all faith backgrounds through programs
and staff.
