Founded in 1870, Loyola University Chicago—one of the largest
Catholic universities in the nation—is Chicago’s Jesuit Catholic
university, a diverse community working to expand knowledge in the
service of others. Loyola's mission is grounded in a commitment to
the dignity of every person, the dynamic between faith and reason,
and the responsibility to care for those who are suffering most in
the world. Loyola invites those of all faith traditions who share
this outlook to join in pursuing its goals. Loyola University
Chicago fosters an academic and employment environment that honors
diversity and social justice. This commitment comes from the Jesuit
belief in and practice of core principles that embrace inclusivity,
mutual respect, inherent freedoms, and the value of varying
perspectives and lived experiences. Loyola is committed to hiring
practices that exemplify these principles.
The College of Arts and Sciences is the oldest of Loyola University
Chicago’s 14 schools, colleges, and institutes. More than 150 years
since its founding, the College of Arts and Sciences is home to 18
academic departments and 26 interdisciplinary programs and centers,

home for more than 400 full-time faculty and nearly 8,000
students. The 2,000+ classes that it offers each semester span an
array of intellectual pursuits, ranging from the natural sciences
and computational sciences to the humanities, the social sciences,
and the fine and performing arts. Home to the departments that
anchor the university’s Core Curriculum, the College of Arts and
Sciences seeks to prepare all of Loyola’s students to think
critically, to engage the world of the 21st century at ever
deepening levels, and to become caring and compassionate
individuals.
