College of Business, Influence, and Information Analysis
This integrated college combines analytics, business, communication, computer science, economics, mathematics, nonprofit leadership, political science, public policy, and technology for an innovative nexus of disciplines. Graduates benefit from exposure to a wide variety of decision-making and leadership concepts that leave them ready to tackle what lies ahead. The degrees are built on three of the most highly marketable skills in today’s workplace – the ability to make sound organizational decisions, to lead and positively influence others, and the conscience to make the right decisions for the greater good. The Helzberg School of Management , one of the best business schools in the country, is housed in this college as well.
The College of Business, Influence, and Information Analysis confers the Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Business Communication, Communication, Political Science, and Strategic Communication and the Bachelor of Science (BS) in Computer Science, Information Technology, Mathematics and Applied Mathematics, as well as all Helzberg School of Management degrees. The Helzberg School of Management grants the Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (BSBA) with possible concentrations in accounting, corporate accounting and finance, financial markets and economic analysis, international business, marketing, marketing analytics, management, and non-profit administration. The Helzberg School of Management also grants Bachelor of Arts degrees (BA) in both Economics and Nonprofit Leadership, as well as a Bachelor of Science (BS) in Analytics and Technology.
The College of Business, Influence, and Information Analysis offers minors in communication, journalism, mathematics, and political science in addition to all minors offered through the Helzberg School of Management. These include minors in business administration (pre-MBA), general business, economics, marketing, nonprofit leadership, and an interdisciplinary leadership development minor. All minors are available to all Rockhurst University students who are not seeking a major in the same subject area.
All students are eligible to participate in the Goppert Cooperative Education Program (Co-op). See section in Campus Life .
