continuing education programs

continue your dreams. extend your Learning.

certificate programs for the adult community, on-campus and on-line.

Founded in 1911, Loyola marymount is a premier catholic

university rooted in the Jesuit and marymount traditions,

and offers rigorous undergraduate, graduate, and

professional programs for women and men committed to

lives of meaning and purpose.

By intention and philosophy, we invite you to enrich our

educational community and advance our mission: the

encouragement of learning, the education of the whole

person, the service of faith and the promotion of justice.

It is true what they say – that the world that most of us grew up in no longer exists. And as the world grows around us, becoming increasingly complex and intercon-nected, we must continue to grow as well. But, where many people and institutions only see obstacles, we at LMU Extension see opportunities to engage issues of critical importance, inspire new ways of thinking, and advance society as a whole.

So, how can you benefit from a consistently changing world? By continuing your education at an institution committed to helping shape society, rather than just studying it.

The Jesuit and Marymount Difference. Since the opening of the first schools hundreds of years ago, both Jesuit and Marymount education has been successful because of its shared commitment to academic excellence, social justice, and its adaptability to the environment of the learner. The world and its people are beauti-fully diverse, and we believe opportunities for life-long learning should reflect that diversity. Subsequently, Jesuit and Marymount continuing education programs strive to give learners ongoing development of their imagination, conscience and intellect, whether it is on the campus, in the community, or online.

Continuing Your Education. At LMU Extension, continuing education is directly engaged with the lived experience of the local and global community. Our certificate programs are taught by leading scholars and professionals, and balance traditional academic study with necessary practical training. Recognizing that jobs and educa-tion are inextricably linked, each program is uniquely tailored to enable learners to update their skills and knowledge, advance their careers, and assist with a desired change in profession or vocation.

In keeping with the mission of the University, LMU Extension remains committed to the examination of ethical values and inspiring learners to serve society by applying their expertise and talent for the benefit of not only themselves, but their community.
