At Holy Cross You get Business Plus

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.

As a major or minor in the business plus program you will:

  • 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.

Careers with a conscience

100 percent of Holy Cross College business students participate in an internship before they graduate. Our students have interned with Bond Brand Loyalty, the Kelly Cares Foundation, and Inovateus Solar, to name just a few. This practical experience equips our alumni to embark on a wide range of careers in:

  • Business
  • Law
  • Management
  • Marketing
  • Sales

Graduates of the business program often choose to go on to graduate studies through one of our Pathways, such as those we have to the 1-year specialized Master’s at the University of Notre Dame’s Mendoza College of Business.

Our graduates have also started their own companies—from marketing agencies serving not-for-profit organizations to event agencies providing exclusive events.
