Application Timeline
Application Methods
👍 Great Fit If You Are:
Creative humanists
if you want to create, write, perform, or visually express while grounded in ethics and community, LMU welcomes your whole self.
Aspiring storytellers
if you're drawn to film, TV, media, or social justice journalism, LMU connects directly to LA’s creative engine.
Soulful achievers
if you're ambitious but also value emotional intelligence, reflection, and kindness, LMU gives you space to grow both.
West Coast seekers
if sunny days, multicultural immersion, and city-meets-nature vibes matter, LMU nails the lifestyle-academics balance.
Students who want to matter
if you believe education is about impact, empathy, and action—not just credentials—this school aligns with that purpose.
🚨 Not Ideal For:
STEM prestige chasers
LMU has solid STEM options, but it’s not where you go to compete for top engineering research rankings.
Greek life die-hards
social life exists but isn’t fraternity-centered; community here is deeper than tailgates.
Ruthlessly career-driven types
if you’re looking for hyper-competitive vibes or Wall Street pipelines, the tone here may feel too mellow.
Traditionalists
if you want classical architecture, East Coast formality, or legacy ivy style, LMU’s West Coast ease may not match.
Those who resist introspection
courses often involve ethical reflection, service learning, and spiritual questions; that’s a feature, not a bug.
