The Institution and School

Loyola University Chicago (LUC) is a Jesuit Catholic University dedicated to the Ignatian heritage of faith, including a profound commitment to the poor, to issues of social responsibility and justice, and to transformative education in the Ignatian tradition of caring for students. The University endeavors to develop the lives of students, faculty, and staff in a spirit of inquiry for the development and application of knowledge for service to others. A commitment to social justice is core to both the School of Social Work (SSW) and University missions. The University strives for and respects healthy work-life balance and family life, including requirements for tenure and promotion.


Celebrating its 100th anniversary of MSW Accreditation in 2021, the SSW offers BSW, MSW, & PhD degrees. The BSW and MSW programs were successfully reaffirmed in 2024. The school launched the nation's first online, bilingual (Spanish) MSW program in fall 2019 and an online MSW program in 2022. The SSW provides additional opportunities for students to expand their worldview through online classes with international partner universities and a robust reciprocal immersion program focusing on refugees and immigrants in Mexico at the U.S. border. In addition, the SSW will launch a comprehensive behavioral health simulation program in 2025 and has several innovative certificate programs providing students with cutting edge training to prepare them for practice.


Faculty and staff are committed to transformative education to serve anti-racist, anti-oppressive aims.
