History

Ghandi once said, “A small body of determined spirits fired by an unquenchable faith in their mission can alter the course of history.”

Loyno’s history department seeks to do just that. In the pursuit of justice, we guide our students through an exploration of the past and all of its intricacies and nuances. Those higher levels of historical thought can only come through a scholarly search for understanding.

Keeping people safe. making the world a better place—these things are not as simple as putting those who break the law in jail.

The Examined Life.

The Jesuit tradition demands that students develop critical thinking above all else. Like Socrates, it demands that we walk through life not unexamined—but that we analyze and reflect before and after acting. This tradition of unshakeable discernment is but one way in which Loyola’s Department of Classical Studies meets and exceeds the developmental needs of its students.
