Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Although there is certainly disagreement on the topic, most students agree that the best thing about studying at Loyola is the care professors put into teaching their classes. Few teachers live on or even near campus, but this does not stop them from going out of their way to meet outside of their class schedule with students who require assistance. This relationship beneits both sides by creating a strong community of learning where students turn into instructors and instructors become students. Unfortunately, the elimination of some of a department’s programs severely hinders its ability to recruit students. Recently, Loyola’s financial situation has stabilized somewhat, allowing for continued improvement of the academic environment.

Despite the University’s financial problems, however, it is still possible to find nationally acclaimed programs at Loyola. The business school has a record of excellence, providing many men and women the background and environment they need to be successful in the fast-paced climate of a big city’s economy. Graduates from all of Loyola’s departments leave with a strong sense of social justice. Many of them find homes providing aid in various forms to communities throughout the world. Anyone looking to pursue a pre-medical or pre-law degree at Loyola will find the school superbly equipped to answer to their needs, both in facilities and in professional assistance. Additionally, the schools of communication, nursing, and education have gathered quite a positive reputation, and are well equipped to prepare students for careers in their chosen field. In the end, although he or she may have to deal with more administrative red tape than the average academic, any student with a desire to learn can excel in any department at Loyola

If You're Good, You'll Get a Job

Like any school, it's all about how you make of your own experience. If you want an accounting job, the accounting professors are pretty good at getting you one. The tenure professors are pretty well connected with the accounting world so just make sure you have at least a 3.5 GPA and any of the professors will be more than willing to help. This is the first year that Deloitte is offering summer internship opportunities to Loyola students so make sure to take advantage of that.

Poor Job Prospect

Where to begin... for starters, the school lacks in having dedicated faculty members that are genuinely interested in helping students succeed. Of course, there are one or two professors at the school that are there because they really love what they do but for the most part, professors are there for the extra income. As for the class size, it's usually pretty intimate depending on the course-- upper level classes are typically smaller. But the main issue with the school is the job prospects-- or lack thereof. When the biggest companies recruiting at your school are the Big 4 firms (mind you, only 2/4 of the firms even recruit at this school), that should be a red flag to anyone looking to attend this school in the hopes of finding a decent job out of college.
