Rockhurst is a Catholic, Jesuit university serving 3,000 students in the business and cultural heart of Kansas City. It offers more than 50 graduate and undergraduate programs taught by nationally recognized faculty, and is ranked among the top master's universities in the Midwest by U.S. News & World Report.

At Rockhurst, we're committed to helping students attain a quality, private education at an affordable cost through generous financial aid packages. More than 98 percent of our students receive financial aid, and the average package is over $17,500. This combination of quality and affordability makes Rockhurst an outstanding value.

In independently conducted surveys, Rockhurst ranks high in student satisfaction. Students have the opportunity to work in close collaboration with faculty who become caring mentors. The kind of mentoring our students receive is reflected in the outcomes of our graduates. And our Kansas City location gives our students a leg up in getting prestigious internships with the city's best companies and organizations.

Living on campus means your student will be learning and interacting with students representing 26 states and 20 countries. More than 70 percent of freshmen and sophomores live in one of the three residence halls. Many upperclassmen also live on campus in the popular Town House Village, featuring apartment-style housing.
