LOYOLA UNIVERSITY CHICAGO

2024-2025 CATALOG

The Academic Catalog is the official listing of courses, programs of study, academic policies and degree requirements for Loyola University Chicago. It is published every year in advance of the next academic year.

Environmental Studies/Digital Media and Storytelling (BA/MC)

The new Accelerated Bachelor's/Master's (ABM) program allows SES students to earn their undergraduate degree in their declared major, while also earning a master’s degree from the SOC in either the Digital Media and Storytelling or Global Strategic Communication graduate programs.

The program trains environmental scientists to be better communicators. While environmental scientists are trained to investigate, analyze data, and interpret results, they are not taught how to communicate their results and conclusions in ways that are readily accessible to the general public, CEOs, or legislators. For students in the School of Environmental Sustainability, the ABM program will help them with writing, public speaking, conference presentations, television and radio interviews, and social media messaging.
