A fourth Chicago-area campus, the Mallinckrodt Campus in north suburban Wilmette, houses the School of Education. A fifth campus, the Rome Center in Rome, Italy, offers opportunities for study abroad. Loyola takes pride in its distinguished graduate faculty, many of whom have been trained at some of the country's leading research institutions. Yet, research is not their only concern. At Loyola, teaching is also important.
Most faculty members teach every semester and many direct the work of several graduate students.
Faculty are guided by the model of the Loyola Scholar. It is equally committed to the discovery, integration, application, and communication of knowledge, making it unique among graduate institutions. Our graduate students are encouraged to adopt the Loyola Scholar model, and much attention is given to the student's development as both teacher and researcher. One aspect of that attention can be seen in the Teaching Fellows Program, which supports advanced graduate students who strive to integrate these two scholarly pursuits. Teaching Fellows conduct undergraduate classes while pursuing their doctoral research.
