Faculty members actively contribute to research projects, with Loyola Extension Services (LES) serving as the Social Lab of the College.
In alignment with the Jesuit tradition of MAGIS (Excellence) and a commitment to Faith and Justice, Loyola strives to make the benefits of higher education accessible, especially to marginalized communities. The Ignatian vision of life guides the institution in its pursuit of academic and social goals.

The one student-one teacher mentoring approach, coupled with value clarification, creates a supportive environment. The college boasts a vibrant Alumni Association and remains actively engaged in community service, particularly for the underprivileged.
With social labs effectively integrating theory and practice, Loyola College is dedicated to engaged knowledge building.
