Loyola University Chicago, the largest of 28 Jesuit colleges and universities in the United States, is comprised of four campuses: Lake Shore (LSC), Water Tower (WTC), Loyola University Health System (LUHS), and the John Felice Rome Center in Italy; and is home to ten schools and colleges: arts and sciences, business administration, communication, education, graduate studies, law, medicine, nursing, continuing and professional studies, and social work. Loyola also serves as the U.S. host university to the Beijing Center for Chinese Studies in Beijing, China. With total enrollment reaching 15,000, Loyola University Chicago has 71 undergraduate majors and 71 minors, 85 master's, 31 doctoral degrees, and 26 graduate-level certificate programs. We strive to maintain a 13:1 student/faculty ratio. While rigorous programs of research and study are one hallmark of a Jesuit education, we're not just preparing students for a career, we're preparing them for life. We challenge our students to learn broadly, to think critically, to serve generously, to lead with integrity, to respect diversity. We come from all faiths and ethnic and economic backgrounds, with a common purpose of building a better society.
