罗耀拉核心
The foundation of your experience.
A Loyola education is about learning to understand the world as it is, so that we can work to make it better. It focuses on the values that shape our lives, so that we can free ourselves from prejudice and unexamined views. It inspires us to act and reflect critically on our actions, as we seek the creation of a more just world.
The 罗耀拉核心 is the foundation of our holistic curriculum, deeply grounded in Jesuit values and the liberal arts and sciences. It’s designed to build students of competence, 良心, and compassion—so that you’ll graduate with a comprehensive knowledge of your discipline, while also learning to think critically, 锻炼自我意识, and commit to a life of learning and service.
The goal of the 罗耀拉核心 is to foster your competency in five key areas:
- 批判性思维
- 有效的沟通
- 定量推理
- 信息素养
- 道德推理
做自己，做真实的自己，做完整的自己.
The 罗耀拉核心 embraces an interdisciplinary approach with an emphasis on the spiritual and intellectual, 道德和伦理, as well as the natural and social sciences, 人文学科, 还有艺术. These elements are central to educating you as a whole person, and they're integral to sustaining our learning community, with a goal of serving the greater 新奥尔良 community and the world. The Core is the very root of our Jesuit education, and our promise to develop our students as scholars, so you can go on and change the world.

共同课程
For students who began their undergraduate academic program at between fall 2013 and spring 2016, the Common Curriculum serves as the foundation of a Loyola education. While the same mission and purpose remain, the structure of this curriculum depends more on each student's major program. If you're still taking Common Curriculum requirements, consult your advisors if you have any questions about the different requirements between the 罗耀拉核心 and the Common Curriculum.
