Academic Excellence
Propelling lives with a top-tier education
For more than a century, Loyola University Chicago and the School of Continuing and Professional Studies (SCPS) have been serving adult learners. Committed to empowering students to excel in all areas of their lives, SCPS delivers an accessible, impactful, and holistic education rooted in innovation and action. Curriculum is designed—thoughtfully and strategically—to reflect market conditions and position students for sustainable success in their chosen field.
SCPS offers more than two dozen academic programs covering business, law, public service, education, technology, and more, many of them ranked among the best in the United States.
SCPS, for example, is home to one of the nation’s premier online undergraduate psychology degree programs as well as one of the foremost undergraduate business degree programs, according to U.S. News & World Report.
In addition, SCPS has also been singled out as a national leader in online
undergraduate education, consistently demonstrating its commitment to delivering a transformative experience aligned with Loyola’s Jesuit, Catholic mission of education rooted in service, justice, and the pursuit of knowledge. The school provides a flexible, interactive, and supportive academic environment characterized by small class sizes and invested faculty attuned to the unique needs of the SCPS adult student population.
From master’s degrees to bachelor’s degrees to certificates, SCPS programs combine relevant, industry-specific technical skills with critical thinking, communication, and ethics to ensure students leave competent, confident individuals ready to impact the world and excel in their personal and professional journeys.
