About
At Loyola University Chicago's Graduate School, we cultivate thought leaders—scholars who are motivated to make a real difference in the world. From academic fields to professional specialties, the Graduate School offers advanced study and research programs on the leading edge of a wide variety of disciplines in the humanities, natural and biomedical sciences, social sciences and the professions.
The Graduate School offers 27 doctoral programs and 44 master's programs leading to three different academic degrees: Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.), Master of Arts (M.A.) and Master of Science (M.S.). The school also offers certificate programs in actuarial sciences, Catholic studies, philanthropy, social research methods and women's studies.
Graduate students at Loyola learn from faculty members who are as committed to mentoring, instruction and intellectual discourse with students as they are to research and scholarship.
Our setting in the heart of Chicago allows students to apply their knowledge through outstanding internship and field study opportunities at leading institutions and research settings throughout the metropolitan area.
The rigorous intellectual environment at Loyola is informed by our commitment to serving our community and our world, in keeping with Jesuit values, a tradition that has typified Loyola University Chicago since its founding in 1870.
Our goal in all that we do is to prepare graduates to gain leadership positions in their chosen fields.
