TIPS
DUAL-DEGREE ENGINEERING
LUC.edu/physics
Loyola’s BS in Engineering Science allows students a chance to specialize in Biomedical,
Computer or Environmental Engineering. For students interested in another engineering special-
ization we recommend the Dual-Degree Engineering program in the Physics Department. In this
unique program, you will earn two baccalaureate degrees: a Bachelor of Science in Physics from
Loyola and a Bachelor of Science in Engineering from an affiliated engineering school. Typically,
three years of study in the social sciences, humanities, mathematics, and physical sciences here
are encouraged, followed by two years of concentrated engineering studies at the school of
engineering.
In the recent past, students have gone to University of lllinois Urbana Champaign, University
of lllinois at Chicago, Washington University in St. Louis, Northwestern University, University of
Michigan, Columbia University, and Iowa State University to complete their engineering studies.
PRE-LAW
LUC.edu/prelaw
Specialized career development and law-school application advising is also available for Pre-Law
students. Pre-Law Advising through Career Services also coordinates information sessions and
on-campus programming with the Pre-Law Society student group, and publishes a monthly
e-newsletter for Pre-Law students. Students may also participate in a relevant academic intern-
ship* in and around Chicago. In doing so, they’ll earn course credit and gain real-world experi-
ence at law firms, government agencies, and nonprofits.
Loyola permits a limited number of well-qualified students to enter the Loyola University
School of Law after completing their junior year, via a competitive application process. In recent
years, the average Law School Admission Test scores and acceptance rates of Loyola Seniors into
law school have remained well above the national average. Our students have been admitted to
more than 150 law schools, with a sizable number securing admission into many of the “Best Law
Schools,” including 21 of the top 25 institutions as ranked by U.S. News and World Report.
