Why Study Business at Holy Cross?

Our business program is called “Business Plus” because it seamlessly integrates a classical liberal arts education with practical business skills, all firmly rooted in Catholic Social Teaching and the Catholic intellectual tradition. This distinctive approach prepares students to become virtuous leaders and problem-solvers ready to excel in a rapidly changing global economy.

Your Journey as a Business Student

  • Study with talented faculty in an intimate classroom setting (our average class size is 18).
  • Learn practical business skills alongside timeless principles of philosophy, theology, and the liberal arts that will empower you to make a positive impact on the world.
  • Obtain the knowledge and abilities you need to succeed in your career while developing a strong sense of purpose and moral direction.
  • Practice making competent firm-level choices that account for long-term challenges, the common good, the universal destination of goods, human dignity in the spirit of solidarity and subsidiarity, and justice.
  • Complete an internship prior to graduation. Business students have interned with organizations such as Bond Brand Loyalty, the Kelly Cares Foundation, and Inovateus Solar, to name just a few.
