Leaders of competence and conscience
The Helzberg School of Management prepares leaders to make a positive difference in the world. Ethical leadership and corporate social responsibility are major themes in projects and discussions.

The Rockhurst educational ethic
In keeping with the centuries-old Jesuit tradition of educating the whole person, Rockhurst encourages students to question, to probe and to think for themselves. Students advance their knowledge and broaden their perspective through a balance between theory and application.

As a Jesuit university, Rockhurst is part of a select group of institutions of higher education. For more than 450 years, the Jesuits have been leaders in education. Rockhurst has constantly challenged conventional thinking and has sought to bring students to an awareness that they not only have a responsibility for developing themselves but society as a whole.

Specifically related to business, a strong case can be made that the corporate sector has a crucial role to play in contemporary society. One goal of Jesuit education is to develop leaders who have a positive impact on their organizations and on society.

A history of success
Rockhurst introduced Kansas City's first business degree for working adults in 1933, its first evening MBA in 1975 and its first executive MBA in 1978 — one of the first 20 in the nation. Today, through the Helzberg School of Management, Rockhurst offers Kansas City's oldest and most prestigious executive MBA. Graduates of the Helzberg Executive Fellows earn an MBA from the only private, AACSB-accredited institution in the area.
