Richard A. Chaifetz School of Business
Imagine your journey here
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.
