Loyola University Maryland
Loyola University Maryland, founded in 1852 by the Jesuit order, is one of the oldest Catholic universities in the country, and its Baltimore campus has built a solid regional reputation for its business, education, and psychology programs within the broader Jesuit university network. The university's Sellinger School of Business has built a strong reputation in the Baltimore-Washington corridor, and Loyola's relatively small undergraduate enrollment, around 4,000 students, lets it maintain smaller class sizes and closer faculty engagement than the larger public universities in the region. Loyola's men's lacrosse program, which won a national championship in 2012, reflects the broader prominence of lacrosse in Maryland generally, a sport with particularly deep roots in the state relative to most of the rest of the country, and the university's athletic programs draw heavily on that regional lacrosse culture. The university's Jesuit mission, combined with its Baltimore location and solid regional business and education program reputations, has made Loyola a consistent choice for students specifically seeking a mid-sized private Catholic university experience within the Baltimore-Washington region.
VS
Johns Hopkins University
Johns Hopkins University, founded in 1876 with a $7 million bequest from businessman Johns Hopkins, was the first American university built explicitly around the German research-university model, prioritizing original faculty research and graduate education over the more purely teaching-focused mission of most earlier American colleges — a founding approach that reshaped the entire structure of American higher education. The university's School of Medicine and its affiliated Johns Hopkins Hospital are consistently ranked among the very best in the country, and Hopkins has ranked first in total federal research funding among American universities for more than four decades running, a level of sustained research dominance no other university has matched over that span. Hopkins's Bloomberg School of Public Health is the oldest and largest independent school of public health in the world, and the university's role coordinating national and global public health data — including its widely cited COVID-19 tracking dashboard during the pandemic — reflected the institution's continued centrality to American public health research and policy. The university's Applied Physics Laboratory, operated for the US government, has contributed to numerous NASA missions including New Horizons' flyby of Pluto, giving Hopkins direct institutional involvement in major space exploration projects alongside its more widely known medical and public health research strength.
