Loyola will be offering a variety of online courses for the first time this summer, allowing students to continue fulfilling their core, major and minor requirements. Cost for the sessions has not yet been determined. The Unified Student Government Association expressed interest in online courses so that students could take classes without being on campus. The issue was originally brought up to the Board of Undergraduate Studies as a request to extend the amount of non-Loyola courses students could take. Online courses allow them to return home over summer break, if they wish. However, the Board was worried that taking non-Loyola courses wouldn’t prepare students to excel at Loyola. “The best solution to satisfy student interest was to extend the ability of Loyola students to take Loyola courses online, taught by Loyola full-time faculty,” said Jeffrey Rosen, Dean of the School of Continuing and Professional Studies.
