PT Class:  Do you want to get back in shape?  Maybe relive the good old days of “Extend to the left, march.  Arms downward, move…?”  Sign up for our PT Class, MLSC 151/2 or MLSC 251/2.  These classes are open to all Loyola students and faculty and count towards general elective credit at Loyola. 

 

Become and Officer:  Are you interested in returning to military service as an Officer in the US Army, USAR, or National Guard?  If you are prior service you only have to complete the last two years of ROTC to commission as an officer.  Enroll in ROTC before the fall semester of your junior year at Loyola.
