College of Business & Technology

Our students today are the business leaders of tomorrow.

Kansas City's Only Private AACSB-Accredited Institution

The Rockhurst University College of Business & Technology is a top business school and home to the renowned Helzberg School of Management — one of the best business schools in the country — and the School of Technology. The College reflects the realities of the job market and the economic growth in a region that is already a leader in health care and STEM, and boasts a growing tech sector.

The College was renamed the College of Business and Technology in late 2023, representing a renewed focus on the premiere AASCB-accredited Jesuit business programs the school has built its name on. We believe strongly in the value of a Jesuit education — our values, focus on ethical leadership and development of the whole person set us and our graduates apart. It’s rare to find those characteristics in a technology-focused education, but they are critically important to us alongside the technical know-how to form leaders of confidence and conscience.
