About the College of Music and Fine Arts
In the Jesuit tradition of providing a well-rounded education, Loyola’s College of Music and Fine Arts provides students with an opportunity to pursue both a strong foundation in the liberal arts and professional training in the performing and fine arts. In this fashion, students can study subjects such as history and philosophy along with graphic design, music therapy, performance, sculpture, and stagecraft. The College of Music and Fine Arts prides itself on the relationship between its faculty and students and its comprehensive array of opportunities for performances, exhibits, and ensembles which afford students the opportunity to present their work on a consistent basis. The low ratio of students to faculty enables a strong emphasis on individual student attention and individual instruction.

College of Music and Fine Arts students have ample performance opportunities both on campus with numerous ensembles and productions, and throughout New Orleans, a city known for its culture and rich heritage in the arts. New Orleans is a devoted theatre community with numerous opportunities for students to experience their craft, and a select number of internships are available at museums and galleries throughout the New Orleans area. In addition, opportunities exist for working with art curators. Students also have the opportunity to study abroad or tour in the United States, Central America, and Europe with the chorale, jazz band, orchestra, or wind ensemble. In addition, the Montage Performance Series provides opportunities for students to gain stage experience in the various ballets, operas, and operettas produced by the college’s opera and ballet departments.
