Loyola College was an Jesuit college in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It was founded in 1896 and ceased to exist as an independent institution in 1974 when it was incorporated into Concordia University. A portion of the original college remains as a separate entity called Loyola High School. Loyola College grew out of the English-language program of Collège Sainte-Marie, a Jesuit college founded in 1848. Loyola College became a separate institution in 1896. Loyola was first located at Bleury and Ste-Catherine then on Drummond south of Ste-Catherine before it built on land it acquired in 1900 in the west end. The College moved into the three original buildings on the current Loyola Campus in 1916.
