The Busch School of Business is the nation’s only business school built from the ground up to integrate faith and business. Our mission is "truth through teaching and research excellence, in the light of the Catholic faith, and to promote business as a force for good."

Forming Virtuous Business Leaders

The Busch School offers a faithfully Catholic business education, one that prepares students to think clearly, live virtuously, and create meaningful change in the business world and beyond.

Building a Better World Through Business

At the Busch School, we understand that business can be a force for good that benefits business organizations themselves, the people they employ, and society as a whole. Our Catholic faith deeply guides this path and is therefore at the heart of the Busch School's design — serving as a cornerstone for the business leaders we teach.

Among the World's Top Business Schools

Our accreditation by AACSB International, the world's top business accrediting organization, is an honor and testament to our approach. Only 6% of business schools worldwide are recognized with this distinction based on their teaching, research, and societal impact.

Cultivating a Community of Great Minds

We intentionally select researchers and practitioners who are proven leaders in the business world to serve as our faculty. And we encourage a bold spirit of exploration and entrepreneurship among our students. Our goal is to cultivate a collective community of great minds that can together examine fundamentally how business works and how to solve real-world business problems.
