Educate. Advocate. Lead.

Since the 1990’s, Loyola University Chicago has offered a campus-based Master of Jurisprudence degree in Children’s Law and Policy through the nationally recognized Civitas ChildLaw Center.

In collaboration with an advisory committee of leaders in various child serving professions and organizations, Loyola has redesigned the curriculum to better prepare students for leadership roles in their respective fields. The program has now become available online to a national and international pool of students.

Our alumni are making a difference in the lives of children around the globe. Their achievement- and the talent and dedication of our current students- inspire our own commitment to being a recognized program of excellence in teaching, research and service on behalf of children and families.
