Imagine your journey here

At the Chaifetz School of Business, success is built at the intersection of knowledge and action. We take pride in our tradition of academic excellence while embracing innovative approaches to business education. Here, students apply business theory to real-world settings, gaining the skills and experience to lead with confidence.

We are guided by our four values, what we call our “4-C’s”; Character, Courage, Caring Community, and Career Aspirations. Our students develop strong ethical foundations (character), embrace challenges and lead with resilience (courage), thrive in a supportive and collaborative environment (a caring community), and receive hands-on experiences that help them achieve their professional goals (career aspirations).

Once you join us, you’re also immediately plugged into a network of 27 other Jesuit universities across the United States. This means you can exponentially increase your network of business contacts and job opportunities through the placement centers of all 28 Jesuit institutions.

Just imagine what your journey would look like. We’re ready to make it a reality for you!
