School of Continuing and Professional Studies (SCPS) is home to adult learners. With blended course formats and prior learning assessment, our students don't have to rearrange their life, or finances, to go back to school and obtain their undergraduate degree or certificate. Our application-oriented undergraduate degree programs and certificates provide leading-edge knowledge and skills to prepare working professionals for today's dynamic workplace. In determining the value of your Loyola degree or certificate, we take a holistic approach. Your degree or certificate completion experience is thoughtfully designed around these three pillars: leadership, career success, and meaningful life. Since 1914, Loyola University Chicago has fulfilled its mission of educational outreach and inclusiveness by offering a wide range of educational options to a diverse community of students and professionals. SCPS continues this mission in the Jesuit tradition by providing a transformative education based on a solid foundation in the liberal arts, with a focus on ethics, social justice and theology.
