Jesuit University

The Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities (AJCU) is a consortium of the 28 Jesuit colleges and universities and two theological centers in the United States committed to advancing academic excellence by promoting and coordinating collaborative activities, sharing resources, and advocating and representing the work of Jesuit higher education at the national and international levels.

Although each institution is legally autonomous under independent boards of trustees and separately chartered by respective states, the 28 schools and two theological schools share common Jesuit ideals and engage in a number of collaborative projects.

Main campuses

Loyola University Chicago is anchored at the Lake Shore Campus (on the shore of Lake Michigan) in Rogers Park, the northernmost neighborhood of the city of Chicago. Among many others, the science departments are located on this campus.

Loyola’s Water Tower Campus is in downtown Chicago off the Magnificent Mile of North Michigan Avenue, steps away from such landmarks as the Water Tower (one of the few structures to survive the 1871 Great Chicago Fire) and the John Hancock Center (one of the tallest buildings in the United States). The School of Business Administration, Graduate School of Business, School of Social Work, School of Continuing and Professional Studies, School of Communication, and the Law School are located at the Water Tower Campus. Many classes for the College of Arts and Sciences are also held at this campus.
