In addition to pursuing an academic major, Loyola undergraduates also complete the Core Curriculum, which helps develop the knowledge, skills, and values that students will need for lifetime success, as well as for myriad career paths. Skills emphasized in the Core include: communication, critical thinking, ethical awareness, information and technological literacy, and quantitative and qualitative analysis and research methods. These skills are SFJOGPSDFEBTTUVEFOUTDPNQMFUF-PZPMBTSFRVJSFEBSFBTPGLOPXMFEHF college writing, artistic knowledge and experience, historical knowledge, literary knowledge, quantitative analysis, scientiﬁc literacy, societal and cultural knowledge, philosophical knowledge, theological and religious studies, and ethics.

PREPROFESSIONAL STUDIES The success of Loyola graduates in postgraduate professional studies testifies to the strong foundation that a Jesuit liberal arts education provides for careers in law, medicine, dentistry, nursing, social work, education, criminal justice, and business. The study of the liberal arts, coupled with investigation in a specialized field, offers undergraduates at Loyola a broad and substantial base from which to pursue any number of interests. Pre-professional students appreciate the rewards and challenges of a liberal arts education; they choose their specific academic programs based on their aptitudes and abilities; they develop multiple interests in and out of the classroom; and they gain practical experience by interning, working, or volunteering in a relevant career setting.
