Loyola University Chicago is proud of and faithful to its rich tradition. We are committed to excellence in teaching and research. We are faithful to our Catholic heritage. We remain true to the principles of Ignatian spirituality and the goals of Jesuit education. The measure of a Jesuit education is who we are and what our students become.

This may sound abstract, but we make it practical in many ways. We take religious faith seriously. We urge students, faculty and staff to deepen their own faiths and to learn and appreciate the faiths of others. We encourage everyone in our university community to live out their personal calling to address the injustices around them. We hope the following information on our work in Mission and Identity provides you a better understanding of the Jesuit Catholic identity of Loyola University Chicago. Learn more about us and our mission of preparing people to lead extraordinary lives.
