At Loyola, we inspire educational leaders to solve systemic and universal challenges in our nation’s schools and communities. We believe the best approach is to immerse our students in practical, educational environments from the start. With 99% undergraduate employment placement by graduation and master's programs touting over 95% placement within three months of completion, it’s a proven model for success.
Graduates of Loyola's School of Education can expect lasting relationships with each other and an extensive alumni network to support them throughout their career as they lead the way and serve as teachers, administrators, counselors, psychologists, and policymakers.
