Note: These are Fall semester to Fall semester enrollment comparisons. Spring semester enrollment data was not
available until Spring 2014, and therefore figures do not include Spring semester data until the 2013-14 academic year.
In total, 646 students were enrolled for Fall 2013. Spring 2014 accounted for 125 additional, newly enrolled
international students for a total of 771 - plus 60 students taking part in Optional Practical Training (total: 831).
The following graphs contained in this report do not include those students involved in Optional Practical Training.
Highlights
Overall, the statistics reflected throughout this report include only students who came to Loyola University Chicago in
the F-1 visa category as full time students (totaling 831). This number includes those students enrolled in the English
Language Learning Program (ELLP). It does not include students participating in the Chicago Center, the Brazilian
Science Mobility Program, or in a semester-long exchange program.
31% of all international, full time students on an F-1 visa are from China.
45% of all international, full time students in the F-1 category participate in undergraduate programs; 55%
participate in graduate programs.
Loyola University Chicago was also host to a number of F-1 part-time/non-degree and J-1 non-degree students during
2013-14 Academic Year. These students included:
12 Brazilian Science Mobility Program (BSMP) students enrolled in the Chicago Center Program. These
students are on J-1 visas sponsored by the Institute of International Education (IIE).
15 J-1 Exchange Students who attended Loyola through agreements with eight overseas partner universities.
An additional 41 non-degree international students who participated in the Chicago Center Program. Students

ELLP students showed significant improvement in their English language proficiency.
Students who tested into the ELLP program at the beginner level (Level 1 of 4) and progressed to complete the
advanced level (Level 4 of 4) in four semesters and took the ESL exit test were found to have improved their
listening scores by 43%, their reading scores 67%, and their writing scores by 68%.
Students who studied one semester in the ELLP program, testing into high-intermediate/advanced levels (Level
3 and 4 of our 4 level program), and then took our ESL exit test were found to have improved their listening
scores by 10%, their reading scores by 7%, and their writing scores by 6% on average.
Lastly, the ELLP hosted a cohort of 30 Brazilian English high school teachers in the winter 2014 term. These participants
attended ESL classes and TESOL workshops, as well as visited schools and other sites in the Chicagoland area.
