At Rockhurst University, we help you become who you want to be, not just what. We’re proud to be Kansas City’s Jesuit university for over 100 years. We’re in the city for good in every sense of the phrase.
Whether this is your first time researching all that Rockhurst has to offer, or you’ve been a loyal Hawk for decades, we welcome you with open arms.
Here are just a few things we want you to know about RU.
We’re proud of the company we keep as one of 27 Jesuit colleges in the U.S. alongside universities such as Georgetown, Xavier and Gonzaga. About 50 percent of students are Catholic, so we offer activities for all denominations. A Jesuit education is prestigious and, in short, it prepares our graduates to lead, shape and change the world around them. We want you to love your future career, but, more importantly, to love your life.
Our curriculum is based on the seven classical liberal arts modes of inquiry: artistic, historical, literary, philosophical, theological, scientific relational and scientific causal. Ok, but what does that really mean? It means we’ll stimulate all parts of your brain. You’ll view the world differently.
