About Loyola Online

Loyola University Chicago is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools (NCA), having first earned accreditation in 1921. Online Learning at Loyola offers high-quality, rigorous courses and programs for undergraduate, graduate, professional and continuing education students that are characterized by the transformative experience of the Jesuit tradition.

Loyola University offered its first online programs in 1998 with a degree program in Computer Science and a master's degree and certificate program in Bioethics in 2002. Since then, our Online Learning offerings have expanded to include 8 adult degree completion programs, 36 graduate programs, and 38 certificate programs.

Students who enroll in any of our online courses or programs will find:

  • Learner-centered courses and programs that foster a supportive learning community.
  • Online courses taught by outstanding Loyola faculty who have received training in the creation and delivery of online courses.
  • Support for students in the use of online technologies.
  • Student services to meet the academic needs of online students.
  • An educational experience that emphasizes the Jesuit tradition of a commitment to excellence, service that promotes justice, values-based leadership, and global awareness.

If you are a current student hoping to take an online course, a prospective student interested in an online program, or a non-degree-seeking student interested in enrolling in a single Loyola course, Online Learning at Loyola has many possibilities for you to consider.
