Welcome to the office of the dean of undergraduate studies. We are committed to helping students make the most out of their years at Loyola—whether that means helping you through a difficult circumstance that is affecting your academics or preparing to take the next exciting step in the journey of discovery and achievement that can distinguish your academic experience.

In the office of undergraduate studies, we believe that students are the most important architects in planning their academic pathway and achieving academic success. Students are empowered to discern their own paths, accepting responsibility for success and failure, being resolute in the pursuit of interests, passions and goals, and making sense of their lives and choices as they proceed toward graduation. Part of that responsibility begins with advocating for one's self and seizing opportunities for exploration and growth. This, too, requires seeking out support resources on campus when necessary.

We invite you to make the most of the many academic resources that Loyola offers to help you succeed, excel, and make the most out of your Loyola experience. Contact our office and let us know how we can support you on your academic journey!

The Green Bandana Brigade’s goal is to spread awareness of campus, local, and national resources for students coping with mental health concerns. An individual with a green bandana on their backpack or in their office is identified as a safe, nonjudgmental person to approach with mental health-related difficulties. They know about available resources, and they can provide resource cards to assist others in getting help and support. None of us has to be alone in our struggles.

The study of theology embraces diverse interests: Some want to come to a deeper intellectual grasp of what it is that they believe and their reasons for believing it; others seek a form of rigorous inquiry into basic human questions, while yet others study theology because the Jewish and Christian traditions have had such vast influence on the Western culture in which we live, ranging from the realms of literature, visual arts and music to the realms of social, political, and ethical reflection. As practiced at Loyola, theology embraces these diverse interests and engages a variety of texts drawn from scripture, the Christian tradition, and the contemporary world. It brings those texts into dialogue with voices from non-Christian religious traditions and the secular world. Whatever a student's own faith might be, the study of theology provides a crucial perspective for understanding both the past and our present.
