Students at Loyola School of Law represent a myriad of cultures, backgrounds and interests; a diversity that is continually nurtured by the university's renowned Jesuit tradition. To ensure individual attention for students, the School of Law seeks to enroll entering classes of 170 day students, usually divided into three sections of 65, and 75 in the evening division. Thus, most classes, especially in the first year, are small, seldom exceeding 65 students. Most upper-level classes, electives and seminars average about 25 students.
Many evening division students study for their law degree while working full-time as teachers, physicians, social workers, newspaper reporters, accountants, engineers and bankers.
Admission to the J.D. program is competitive. The School of Law receives 3,000 to 4,000 applications annually for approximately 270 seats in the first-year class. For a copy of the viewbook, click here.
An applicant's LSAT score and undergraduate grade point average (GPA) are important factors in Loyola's review of applications for admission. Due to the high calibur of applications received, the Faculty Committee on Admission also reviews the applicant's entire file for unique characteristics.
