Faculty, staff, and current students of the Busch School welcomed the Class of 2026 to Maloney Hall. The Class of 2026 is the Busch School of Business's largest class ever, with 185 first-year students. The Busch school also added 23 transfers for a total of 208 new students.

New students and their families were introduced to how the Busch School promotes business as a force for good by Dean Andrew Abela. Dean Abela highlighted the Busch School's success stories in career placement and the Gallup survey confirming alumni flourishing in wellbeing, social, financial, and health outcomes. He also noted the importance of virtue in business and life, detailing how Catholic University and the Busch School will prepare students to have the habits needed to succeed: making good choices, being fair, courageous, self-motivated, and disciplined. 

Students and their families also met area directors and upperclassmen to familiarize themselves with the different majors and specializations available to them.

Visitors learned about the offerings in the Busch School: exciting classes taught by experienced professionals, a variety of student clubs and organizations, internship opportunities and personalized career development.

We're excited to welcome the Class of 2026 to the Catholic University community!
