Rockhurst University’s core curriculum has been designed to reflect the Jesuit ideals of educating the whole person and nurturing a natural inquisitiveness that leads to life-long learning.  Through studying the core curriculum, students develop not only fundamental intellectual skills, but also an awareness of their relationship to the world around them.  These skills and awareness give Rockhurst graduates the necessary tools to act ethically and become leaders in the service of others.
