Loyola University Chicago (Loyola, LUC) is a private Jesuit university located in Chicago, Illinois. It was founded by the Roman Catholic Society of Jesus in 1870 under the name of "St. Ignatius College" and has grown to be one of the largest Jesuit universities in the United States with a total enrollment of 15,068 (as of 2013) and over 150,000 alumni.〔(Key Facts ). luc.edu〕 Loyola University has six campuses throughout the Chicago metropolitan area, and it also has a permanent overseas campus in Rome, Italy and guest programs in Beijing, China and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Loyola has twelve undergraduate, graduate, and professional schools offering 71 undergraduate degrees, 85 master's degrees, 31 doctoral degrees, and 26 graduate-level certificate programs.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Loyola At a Glance )〕 The main campus, the Lake Shore Campus, is located in the Rogers Park and Edgewater neighborhoods of the City of Chicago, located along the shore of Lake Michigan. Loyola University Chicago's intercollegiate sports teams, commonly called the "Loyola Ramblers", compete in National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I and the Missouri Valley Conference. Loyola is still the only Illinois Division I university to have won the national championship in men's basketball. ==History== Established on June 30, 1870, as "St. Ignatius College", Loyola University Chicago began instruction close to the University of Illinois at Chicago, and it began moving to its location along the lakeshore in 1912, three years after changing its name to "Loyola University". In addition to its school of liberal arts, Loyola University established the Loyola University Chicago School of Law in 1908, the Stritch School of Medicine in 1909, the school of business (now called the Michael R. Quinlan School of Business) in 1922.〔("Loyola University" ) on the ''Encyclopedia of Chicago'' website〕 Loyola also established other schools of health science with the addition of the Loyola University School of Dentistry in 1923, which was expanded in 1926 by merging with the Chicago College of Dental Surgery and the School of Nursing in 1935, which became the first fully accredited collegiate school of nursing in Illinois. Its preparatory school was previously located at (Dumbach Hall ), the oldest structure at the Lakeshore campus, before moving to Wilmette in 1957. In 1962, Loyola University opened the John Felice Rome Center for Liberal Arts, the first American university sponsored program in Rome. The School of Education was established in 1969 in conjunction with the opening of the newer Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood, Illinois. In 1991, Loyola University bought the neighboring Mundelein College from the Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. In 1993, Loyola closed its School of Dentistry, which was located on the Maywood campus. Once a struggling institution financially, Loyola University completed a $500 million capital campaign in June 2011 to enhance Loyola's national and international standing while improving the quality of the education and student life for Loyola students.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Giving to Loyola: Loyola University Chicago )〕 The transformation of Loyola to a top-tier national university was profiled in a 2006 Chicago Tribune article entitled "The miracle along the lake". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Loyola University Chicago」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
