“I believe the Boler College of Business excels at preparing students to be future business leaders because of the way we combine hundreds of years of Jesuit tradition with state-of-the-art business education. Our students start their careers with a broad foundation in business, deep knowledge and
skills in their major, and a solid grounding in core values like integrity, care for people and the planet, and servant leadership. We believe good people are good for business.”
