Loras College, a private Catholic liberal arts institution established in 1839, is situated on a hilltop campus overlooking the Mississippi River in Dubuque, Iowa, approximately 180 miles west of Chicago. The campus features a mix of historic limestone buildings and modern facilities spread across 65 acres in a residential neighborhood. As the oldest post-secondary institution in Iowa, Loras maintains its Catholic intellectual tradition while operating as an independent college that welcomes students of all faiths. The college is known for its programs in media studies, business analytics, and sport management, while also offering a comprehensive liberal arts curriculum. Students are required to live on campus for their first two years, choosing from traditional residence halls and apartment-style housing, and the college competes in NCAA Division III athletics as the Duhawks.
