On October 14, 2009, Loyola celebrated the dedication of its new School of Education, highlighting what is new, distinctive, and exciting about the School. The convocation address focused on how the distinctiveness of the new School uniquely positions it to be a leader in tackling the trenchant challenges, dilemmas, and issues of urban education and urban schooling in America.

The School's founding dean, Peter C. Murrell, Jr., Ph.D., joined Loyola in summer 2008. In addition to enhancing Loyola's current academic offerings, he has established several centers aimed at building collaboration with members of the local community and addressing the many challenges surrounding urban education.

Loyola offers both graduate and undergraduate programs in education. To find out more about the programs, visit the Academic Programs page.
