Loyola University Chicago is defined by its Catholic-intellectual faith and the Jesuit values that are at the heart of its mission. We seek God in all things and work to expand knowledge in the service of humanity. By living, studying, and working in the country’s third-largest city, we are able to practice our values—from service to ethical leadership—on a daily basis.

Our liberal arts curriculum encourages students to think critically, to discover meaning and purpose in life, to think in an interdisciplinary way, and to express themselves with eloquence and creativity.  

Like the first Jesuits, we know that an education that prepares students for responsible leadership is key to solving some of today’s—and tomorrow’s—most complex problems. We use the backdrop of Chicago to immerse students in a city that is diverse and energizing. Beyond Chicago, students have hundreds of opportunities to volunteer and study around the world.  

As a part of our Jesuit mission, we are committed to environmental sustainability, incorporating it into our curriculum as well as our on-campus activities. We want to prepare our students to work toward creative solutions to environmental challenges.

At Loyola University Chicago, we’re not just preparing students for a career—we’re preparing them for life. We come from all faiths and backgrounds but are united by our common goal of building a better society.
