Loyola Universit, Chicago

Located in Chicago, Illinois, Loyola Institution Chicago (often known as Loyola or LUC) is a private Jesuit research university. Loyola is one of the biggest Catholic universities in the country and was established by the Society of Jesus in 1870. Saint Ignatius of Loyola is its eponym. Programs in medicine, nursing, and health sciences are offered through Loyola’s professional schools, which are supported by the Loyola University Medical Center. It is listed as belonging to the category “R2: Doctoral Universities – High Research Activity”.

Loyola University, which consists of thirteen colleges and institutions, enrolls about 17,000 students and offers more than 80 undergraduate and 140 graduate/professional programs. There are six Loyola campuses spread throughout the Chicago metropolitan region, a campus in Rome, guest programs in Beijing and Ho Chi Minh City, and more. A little more than seven miles north of the Loop, in the Chicago communities of Rogers Park and Edgewater, is the main Lake Shore Campus.

The sports departments of Loyola, known as the Ramblers, participate in NCAA Division I as Atlantic 10 Conference teams.

The only Illinois institution to win the NCAA men’s basketball title was Loyola in 1963. The Ramblers have also won the men’s volleyball NCAA championship twice (in 2014 and 2015).

Many prominent Chicago-based companies’ executives, including those of McDonald’s and Baxter International, as well as numerous local and federal political figures, including Michael Madigan, the longtime former Speaker of the Illinois House of Representatives, are among the more than 150,000 Loyola alumni. Guggenheim and MacArthur fellowships, as well as Emmy, Grammy, Peabody, and Pulitzer honors, have all been won by former students of Loyola.

Arnold Damen, a Jesuit priest, and educator founded St. Ignatius College on June 30, 1870. Chicago had a population of less than 300,000 at the time, and as a result, the initial campus was located much nearer to the city center, along Roosevelt Road. The institution changed its name to Loyola University in 1909, and in 1912 it started moving to the Lake Shore Campus. Today, the original structure is a part of St. Ignatius College Prep, which is situated next to the University of Illinois at Chicago.
