Faculty

Jesuit schools are well known for outstanding teaching and commitment to students. We recruit and reward faculty who love teaching and excel at it. Our faculty are at the leading edge of their fields through their research, but they also are exceptionally capable of communicating knowledge to students and encouraging their students to apply what is learned in the classroom to the real world.

Above all, our faculty are interested in your success. They are knowledgeable, but more importantly, our small classes mean professors are accessible to you to facilitate and deepen your learning.

Our reputation for challenging academic programs, teaching excellence and emphasis on integrity in business draws some of the most talented students in the world.

You will be building relationships with students from around the world, some of whom will someday manage companies that play pivotal roles in world commerce.

AACSB International Accreditation
