From the Institution

Loyola is located in Chicago, Illinois, the third largest city in the United States and a global leader in commerce, industry, and culture. Chicago is an extended campus for Loyola students, who have direct access to the city's countless career, internship, service, cultural, recreational, and entertainment opportunities. Students take classes primarily at the Lake Shore Campus, nestled alongside Lake Michigan on Chicago's north side, and at the Water Tower Campus located in the city's famous Gold Coast neighborhood. Medical students benefit from the University's clinical partnership with the Loyola University Health System and Trinity Health. Our Health Sciences Campus, located in suburban Maywood is home to Loyola's Stritch School of Medicine, graduate programs for the Marcella Niehoff School of Nursing, and the Graduate School's biomedical programs. Loyola's reach also extends around the world. The Rome Center in Italy along with more than 200 other study abroad options in 60 countries, offer students the chance to engage with the global community and economy. Loyola's 11 schools and colleges offer more than 80 undergraduate majors and more than 140 graduate, professional, and graduate-level certificate programs. Nineteen programs integrate coursework from multiple disciplines to give students an opportunity to explore and synthesize topics from a variety of viewpoints. Our distinguished faculty are leaders in their fields. They integrate research and practical experiences into the classroom. Ninety-two percent hold the highest academic degrees in their respective fields. Small classes emphasize student-to faculty interaction and partnership opportunities in service learning and research. An undergraduate degree at Loyola takes four years (120 credit hours) to complete and includes undergraduate major requirements, the Core Curriculum, and electives. At Loyola, some of the most impactful learning takes place outside of the classroom. Students routinely give back to the community while exploring their interests and may earn academic credit for their service. Loyola offers more than 200 student clubs, activities, and organizations to connect with others, make lifelong friendships, and enjoy a richer college experience. Loyola competes in 13 NCAA Division I sports.
