Message from Loyola University-Chicago School of Continuing and Professional Studies

Loyola University Chicago’s School of Continuing and Professional Studies (SCPS) empowers adult learners through an accessible, impactful and holistic education that positions them for success. We enable students to advance careers through applicable programs and flexible formats, while creating a supportive environment that fosters social justice, ethics, and service to others.

SCPS prepares students in the Jesuit tradition which includes caring for the whole person or “Cura Personalis.” Cura Personalis is the idea of recognizing and honoring a person’s uniqueness and providing support to the whole person.

We strive to create a culture where students do not feel like isolated individuals but rather members of a community that encourages respectful discourse and debate, that celebrates hard work and accomplishments, and that promotes social justice and responsible freedom. Such a community is essential to transformative education because, in the end, there is very little that an individual can do alone. We need to learn to form friendships and to build alternative networks of belonging that are oriented toward the transformations we all desire.
