Preparing for the future by studying the past. History at Loyola is an integral part of the university’s liberal arts program.

It seeks to free the mind from common prejudices and faulty intellectual assumptions through a broad-based study of the human past. Students become familiar with the principal forces of change and adaptation that have marked humanity’s cultural, social, political and economic development.
