In our small classes, students receive individual support and often develop lasting friendships with classmates and faculty. Additionally, students develop technological skills by learning how to create PowerPoint presentations and navigate Blackboard, Loyola's online course management system. Students will also expand their cultural awareness through our unique Discover Chicago class, in which students explore the world-class city of Chicago on exciting class field trips.
While studying in the ELLP Program helps students prepare for degree work in English, it does not guarantee admission into a degree program. If you are interested in joining a Loyola degree program after the ELLP Program, please contact Undergraduate Admission or Graduate Enrollment for more information. Admission to a degree program requires a separate application process.
