Founded in 1870 by the Jesuits, today Loyola is one of the largest Catholic universities in the United States. Loyola 's professional schools have educated generations of local business and civic leaders, and distinguished programs in medicine, nursing, and health sciences are anchored by the nationally recognized Loyola University Medical Center. Comprising eleven colleges and schools, Loyola offers over 80 undergraduate and 140 graduate / professional programs and enrolls approximately 16,000 students. Loyola has six campuses across the Chicago metropolitan area, as well as a campus in Rome and guest programs in Beijing and Ho Chi Minh City. The flagship Lake Shore Campus is along the scenic shores of Lake Michigan in the Rogers Park and Edgewater neighborhoods of Chicago, eight miles north of the Loop. Loyola 's athletic teams, nicknamed the Ramblers, compete in NCAA Division I as members of the Missouri Valley Conference. Loyola won the 1963 NCAA men 's basketball championship, and remains the only school from Illinois to do so. The Ramblers are also two - time ( 2014, 2015 ) NCAA champions in men 's volleyball. Among the more than 150,000 Loyola alumni, there are executives of major Chicago - based corporations such as McDonald 's and Baxter International, as well as dozens of local and national political leaders including the current Illinois Attorney General and Speaker of the House. Loyola alumni have won Emmy, Grammy, Peabody, and Pulitzer awards, as well as Guggenheim and MacArthur fellowships.

Arnold Damen. At that time Chicago was a much smaller, but rapidly growing, city just shy of 300,000 people, and as a result the original campus was much closer to the city center along Roosevelt Road. In 1909 the school was renamed Loyola University, and in 1912 it began to move to the current Lake Shore Campus ; today the original building is part of St. Ignatius College Prep, adjacent to the University of Illinois at Chicago. To meet the growing needs of Chicago, Loyola established professional schools in law ( 1908 ), medicine ( 1909 ), business ( 1922 ), and nursing ( 1935 ). The Chicago College of Dental Surgery became part of the university in 1923, and was closed 70 years later. A downtown campus was founded in 1914, and with it the School of Sociology. As the predecessor to the School of Social Work, it enrolled Loyola 's first female students, though the school would not become fully coeducational until 1966. Loyola Academy, a college prep high school, occupied Dumbach Hall on the Lake Shore Campus until it was relocated to north suburban Wilmette in 1957. The current Water Tower Campus opened in 1949. In 1962, Loyola opened a campus in Rome near the site of the 1960 Summer Olympics. In 1969, Loyola established the School of Education and consolidated medical programs at the Loyola University Medical Center, a hospital and health care complex located in Maywood, an immediate suburb of Chicago. The university legally separated from the Jesuits in 1970, and today is under lay control and governed by a board of trustees. Loyola purchased neighboring Mundelein College in 1991. Mundelein Center Major capital campaigns since the turn of the century have greatly enhanced Loyola 's academic profile and campuses. In 2005 the Loyola University Museum of Art was established on the Water Tower Campus, and the Rome campus was renamed in honor of Director Emeritus John P. Felice. In 2009, the Cuneo Foundation presented the university with the Cuneo Mansion and Gardens, a 100 - acre estate with an Italianate mansion and extensive collections of art and furnishings located in suburban Vernon Hills. The $50 million gift is the largest in Loyola history. In 2010, Loyola purchased the Resurrection Retreat Center in Woodstock, which became the school 's fifth campus for retreat and ecological study. In 2012, Loyola alumnus Michael R. Quinlan donated $40 million to the business school, which was renamed in his honor. During this time over 200,000 square - feet of LEED - certified sustainable spaces have been built on the Lake Shore Campus alone, along with significant mixed - use developments on the Water Tower Campus. Today, Loyola ranks among the top 103 universities in the nation, and is in the midst of over $800 million in capital construction projects. In 2015, the university established Arrupe College, a uniquely structured two - year college designed to give low - income students access to a Loyola education. On May 23, 2016, Loyola named Jo Ann Rooney its 24th president. She is the first female president in the history of the university. Campuses Lake Shore campus Cudahy Library Loyola 's flagship Lake Shore Campus is along the shores of Lake Michigan in the Rogers Park and Edgewater neighborhoods on the north side of Chicago, eight miles north of the Loop. Founded in 1912, it is the primary residential campus for the school, and is the home of the College of Arts and Sciences, and a variety of graduate programs. A collection of over forty buildings, the campus offers ample green space and lakeshore access, as well as several landmarks : The Madonna della Strada Chapel, a striking Art Deco masterpiece completed in 1939, is the center of Loyola 's religious life. The Mundelein Center, a 200 - foot tall Art Deco skyscraper completed in 1930, is the home of Loyola 's fine and performing arts programs and a National Historical Landmark. The Joseph J. Gentile Arena, which holds 5,500 for basketball, volleyball, and campus events, was recently expanded to include the Norville Center, a student - athlete academic center and home of Rambler athletics. One of the largest events held annually in Gentile Arena is Colossus, which features a musical artist and comedian. Artists including Jason Derulo and John Mulaney have performed for Colossus. Halas Sports Center was remodeled and incorporated into the sprawling new Damen Student Center, the heart of campus social life. Cudahy Science Hall The E.M. Cudahy Memorial Library contains over 900,000 volumes and 3,600 periodical subscriptions, and in 2008 was expanded to include the Richard J. Klarchek Information Commons, an academic and social space with glass curtain walls that offer unparalleled views of the lake and campus. Science education and research takes place in the Quinlan Life Sciences building and the Institute of Environmental Sustainability, a multipurpose complex that includes academic space, a residence hall, a greenhouse, and the largest geothermal energy facility in Chicago. The Lake Shore Campus is connected to the famous Chicago ' L ' via the Loyola station on the CTA Red Line. Southbound trains pass through neighborhoods like Lake View and Lincoln Park on the way to the Loop and South Side, while northbound trains connect to Evanston, the home of Northwestern University. Klarchek Information Commons Sustainability Loyola is committed to creating environmentally sustainable campuses, and various efforts have reduced university energy use by 33 % since 1998. Loyola has three LEED Silver certified buildings and four LEED Gold certified buildings, with all future construction to be LEED certified as well. Loyola has more green roofs than any college in the Midwest, which includes both new and renovated buildings. These efforts have not gone unnoticed : in 2014, Loyola placed 4th nationally ( and 1st in Illinois ) in the Sierra Club 's ranking of America 's Greenest Colleges. Water Tower campus The Water Tower Campus opened in 1949 along a stretch of Michigan Avenue today known as the Magnificent Mile, and is named after the Chicago Water Tower, a city landmark that survived the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. It is the home of the Quinlan School of Business, the School of Law, the School of Education, the School of Continuing and Professional Studies, the School of Social Work, the School of Communication, the Institute of Pastoral Studies, and Arrupe College, as well as a selection of classes from programs based elsewhere. The Chicago Water Tower, a city landmark and the campus namesake Dominated by mixed - use skyscrapers, campus buildings include the Corboy Law Center, Terry Student Center, Baumhart Hall, and landmark Lewis Towers, built in 1945 as the Illinois Catholic Women 's Club and today home of the Office of the President and the Loyola University Museum of Art. Recent construction includes The Clare, a 587 - foot tower that serves as both a retirement community and the home of the College of Communication, and the LEED certified John and Kathy Schreiber Center, which opened in 2015 as the new home of the Quinlan School of Business. The campus puts students at the heart of Chicago 's business and cultural life : it is steps from the offices of major corporations, Chicago 's premiere retail and tourist district, as well as institutions like the Museum of Contemporary Art and the Newberry Library. Holy Name Cathedral, the seat of the Archdiocese of Chicago, is directly adjacent to the south. The Water Tower Campus is also connected to the ' L ' via the Chicago station on the CTA Red Line. Students can conveniently travel between Water Tower Campus and Lakeshore Campus on a school - sponsored shuttle during the week. Health Sciences campus Founded in 1969 along with the Loyola University Medical Center, the Health Sciences Campus is the home of the Stritch School of Medicine, the Marcella Niehoff School of Nursing, and several programs that are part of the School of Continuing and Professional Studies. It is in Maywood, an immediate western suburb of Chicago, approximately eleven miles from the Loop. A leading academic center for teaching and research, Loyola University Medical Center comprises the main hospital, Loyola Outpatient Center, Ronald McDonald Children 's Hospital, Cardinal Bernardin Cancer Center, and several medical office and laboratory buildings. In 2011, the medical center was sold to Trinity Health, while Loyola continues to own and operate the academic buildings and select research facilities on campus. In 2017, Loyola expanded its accelerated nursing program to an online - based format with lab in Downer 's Grove. John Felice Rome Center Loyola 's permanent campus in Rome opened in 1962 at Casa Italiana Viaggi Internazionali Studenti ( C.I.V.I.S. ), a dormitory originally built to host athletes during the 1960 Summer Olympics. In 1978, the campus moved to its current location on Monte Mario approximately two miles northwest of the Vatican City. The campus is the home of the oldest American university program in Italy, and hosts students from both Loyola and other universities seeking to study abroad. In 2005, the campus was renamed in honor of founder and Director Emeritus John P. Felice. Additional campuses In 2010, Loyola founded the Retreat and Ecology Campus on the former site of the Resurrection Retreat Center in Woodstock, Illinois an outer suburb approximately fifty miles northwest of Chicago. The campus houses the university 's campus ministry programs, and offers a unique learning opportunity for students and faculty interested in the sciences. The property contains 20 acres ( 8 ha ) of natural habitat that includes ponds, streams, woods, and prairieland. Loyola also owns and operates the Cuneo Mansion and Gardens in suburban Vernon Hills, approximately thirty miles north of Chicago. The mansion and grounds were donated to the university in 2009 by the John and Herta Cuneo Foundation. The estate operates as a museum and hosts special events and a growing number of academic programs in business, education and law.

Athletics LU Wolf at a Loyola Men 's basketball game Main article : Loyola Ramblers NCAA Division I National Championships ( 3 ) : 1963 Men 's Basketball, 2014 Men 's Volleyball, 2015 Men 's Volleyball Loyola is home to 11 varsity teams, most of which compete in NCAA Division I. The teams include men and women 's basketball, cross country, men and women 's golf, men and women 's soccer, softball, track, and men and women 's volleyball. The nickname `` Ramblers '' was first applied to Loyola 's football team in 1926 because they frequently traveled throughout the United States. LU Wolf is the mascot for the University. He was inspired by the coat - of - arms of St. Ignatius of Loyola, from whom Loyola derives its name, which depicts two wolves standing over a kettle. Taken from the heraldic crest carved in the lintel on St. Ignatius ' family home in Azpeitia, Spain, the wolves and cauldron refer to the prosperity and generosity of the Loyola family, who, after feeding family, retainers and soldiers, had enough food to feed even the wild animals. Loyola 's men 's basketball team, the Ramblers, won the 1963 national championship. Loyola is the only Division I NCAA school in Illinois to have won a national title in men 's basketball. They also hold the all - time highest win percentage of any team to ever compete in the NCAA tournament. Loyola sits slightly ahead of Duke University. The Loyola Ramblers men 's volleyball team won back - to - back NCAA championships in 2014 From 1970 to 1971, Loyola had a club football team, led by Coach Dick Blackmore. The Ramblers won the Club Football National Championship in 1971 but were shut down after the University showed little interest. In 2012, the club football program was started again by students Robert L. O'Mullan and Luke Culley. John Clarke was the first head coach, followed by Connor Gomez. The Rambler football team competes in the Great Lakes ( West ) conference in the National Club Football Association. The Loyola Ramblers men 's volleyball team won back - to - back NCAA championships in 2014 and 2015. In 2018, Loyola 's men 's basketball team won the Missouri Valley Conference tournament championship to qualify for the 2018 NCAA Division I Men 's Basketball Tournament for the first time since 1985. The 11 - seed Ramblers recorded four straight upset victories against the Miami Hurricanes, Tennessee Volunteers, Nevada Wolf Pack, and Kansas State Wildcats to advance to the Final Four.
