The three aforementioned majors will be available to students applying for the fall 2026 semester, school officials confirmed.

With the addition of the academic programs, the university – located near Baltimore’s Mount Washington neighborhood – is broadening academic opportunities in high-demand fields where students can make an instant impact, according to the business school dean.

“At the Sellinger School, we are committed to preparing students for the evolving demands of today’s business world and, in the process, to addressing the unmet needs of our business partners,” said Mary Ann Scully, dean of the Sellinger School.

“These programs harness our strong ties to industry, our extensive alumni network, and our dedication to providing experiential learning that positions graduates for long-term success.” 

In Loyola’s real estate major, instructors hope to equip students with knowledge and skills on real estate markets, market feasibility studies, cash-flow modeling, location analytics, investment criteria, accessing financial solutions and more, the school said in a statement.  

Loyola’s digital marketing and analytics major will amalgamate marketing, communications, technology, analytics and content creation “into a cohesive program that prepares students for online marketing.” Content tools, like websites, email, social media and influencers, will be included in instructional material, along with guidance on how to rigorously analyze market data using technology and artificial intelligence. 

The university’s financial risk management and insurance major will look to prepare students to recognize and address the challenges businesses face today. The program is designed to emphasize the importance of integrating risk awareness into strategic decision-making. According to school officials, students will learn to analyze and manage risks to enhance organizational resilience. 

Loyola’s Sellinger School of Business and Management offers nine undergraduate majors and 12 undergraduate minors, in addition to MBA and master of accounting programs.
