Arrupe College


Arrupe College is a two-year college of Loyola University

Chicago that continues the Jesuit tradition of offering a

rigorous liberal arts education to a diverse population, many of

whom are the first in their family to pursue higher education.

Using an innovative model that ensures affordability while

providing care for the whole person—intellectually, morally, and

spiritually—Arrupe prepares its graduates to continue on to a

bachelor’s program or move into meaningful employment.

Heeding the call of its namesake, renowned Jesuit leader Pedro

Arrupe, S.J., the college inspires its students to strive for

excellence, work for justice, and become “persons for others.”

Approved by Arrupe College’s Board of Directors on March 15, 2016.
