Our mission is to provide students with transformative education abroad experiences that equip them with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to engage societal problems – locally and globally – and to truly understand differing social and cultural realities. Each Global Center provides students with a unique, global perspective in the classroom, a diverse community of students, faculty, staff, and fully accredited Loyola University Chicago courses.

Study Abroad with Loyola University Chicago
"While in Rome, I dove headfirst into many exciting opportunities: interning at an Italian film company, coaching as a co-captain in the JFRC soccer league, writing a travel blog, giving the Student Reflection Speech at the End of Semester Banquet…and travelling throughout Europe!"

"Language skills, adaptability, travelling skills, you name it. So worthwhile."
Anthony Terenzio Loyola University Chicago

"I learned how to be more independent, so it was worthwhile"
A student Fordham University
"Living in Italy changed me for the rest of my life. Believe me when I say even if it seems scary it is beyond worth it. You realize and develop a part of you that you did not know existed. Being there 5 months was not enough."
Caitlin P Loyola University Chicago
"I learned so much about the world and myself. "
A student Loyola University Chicago
"I could write a novel on all that I've gained/learned from my experience abroad. It was the most worthwhile thing I've done throughout my entire undergraduate career. "
Sam J Loyola University Chicago
"Everything about my time at the JFRC was worthwhile. I met my best friends who will be in my life forever, I learned how to step outside of my comfort zone, gained language skills, and cultural experience. I also had a marketing internship which gave me insight into what it is like to work in a foreign office. "

Rachel D Trinity University
"I learned about so many different cultures and ways of living. It was extremely worthwhile and now I know how other people and societies conduct their lives.

"It wasn't until the last week that I felt like I really fit in with the Italian life. I met some italians and began to feel more comfortable speaking the language. It was the best summer of my life. "
Kathleen S University of Notre Dame
"It was so worthwhile. I grew as a person and learned about myself and how to deal with being away from home. I stepped out of my shell and made new friends and experienced many things I would be too scared to do at home."
A student Loyola University Chicago
"It was the best year I could have ever asked for. Both the ups and downs made me grow and mature and become more and more independent, which was definitely a goal I had for the year. Travel has also become a completely new learning experience, one that I learned to appreciate differently. Rome in general though, taught me to liv..."

A student Miami University
"I have a better view of how I want to live my life in the states. I also learned a bit more about Europe and traveling, since I have never traveled without my family or been out of the country. YES it was was completely worth while! I am trying to fit another study abroad in the Spring!"
A student Loyola University Chicago

hudson.hotaling Loyola University Chicago
"Overall, this is a good, well-run program and my semester at the JFRC was a positive experience, but it wasn't exactly the experience I was after. I am a Spanish/French minor and have done summer study abroad programs in Spain and France, including home stay and classes taught in those languages, so this program seemed really sh..."
