Languages and Cultures
Sometimes when opportunity calls, it speaks another language.
When you meet someone, knowing another language gives you an additional opportunity to connect. That’s why the goal of our program is to teach more than just the appreciation of other languages, literatures, and cultures, but also to broaden perspectives and gain a better understanding of the world.
History
Ghandi once said, “A small body of determined spirits fired by an unquenchable faith in their mission can alter the course of history.”
Loyno’s history department seeks to do just that. In the pursuit of justice, we guide our students through an exploration of the past and all of its intricacies and nuances. Those higher levels of historical thought can only come through a scholarly search for understanding.

Criminology and Justice
Keeping people safe. making the world a better place—these things are not as simple as putting those who break the law in jail.
Justice is more complex than that, and our system needs people who can study and maintain it. We want you to ask questions about our social structures as a whole—to understand not just the implications our constructs have on crime, but what we can change for the better.
Classical Studies
The Examined Life.
The Jesuit tradition demands that students develop critical thinking above all else. Like Socrates, it demands that we walk through life not unexamined—but that we analyze and reflect before and after acting. This tradition of unshakeable discernment is but one way in which Loyola’s Department of Classical Studies meets and exceeds the developmental needs of its students.
