The Helzberg School of Management is the business school of Rockhurst University, a Jesuit Catholic university founded in 1910 in Kansas City, Missouri. Named for philanthropist Barnett C. Helzberg Jr. and the Helzberg family, the school holds AACSB accreditation, a distinction shared by only a small fraction of business schools worldwide. It is best known for its Jesuit emphasis on ethics, service, and leadership, small class sizes, and close connections with the Kansas City business community.
Students experience a tight-knit, personalized learning environment with a low student-faculty ratio, experiential learning, internships, and active student organizations. Distinctive offerings include programs in accounting, finance, marketing, and international business, along with graduate programs such as the MBA, Master of Accountancy, and Executive MBA options. The urban, wooded campus near the Country Club Plaza gives students easy access to internships and employers across the metro area.
