Best in compliance
With Loyola’s recent expanded
focus on compliance and
regulatory health law,
the
School of Law now boasts one of
the nation’s most robust course
offerings in this area. More than 40
online and on-campus compliance
courses are available, and Loyola
is one of only 10 U.S. universities
to receive accreditation by the
Compliance Certification Board,
which permits Loyola students
to qualify for the compliance
certifications. The new, student-
run
Loyola University Chicago
Journal of Regulatory Compliance
,
launched this fall, is the nation’s
only law school journal dedicated
solely to regulatory and
compliance issues.
