Richard A. Chaifetz School of Business

Where mission meets market

The Chaifetz School of Business at Saint Louis University is a place where your training in the world of business intersects with the Jesuit philosophy of caring for community and neighbor. Our students learn about business through innovative, hands-on courses that help develop the technical skills to drive success and the ethical leadership skills to use the private sector as a driving force for good. 

You’ll become an entrepreneurial thinker, difference-maker, global citizen and agent of positive change. We stand for the higher purpose and greater good, in business and beyond. We won’t ask you to embrace ideas as much as we’ll encourage you to challenge them; discover larger, stronger answers; and develop as a business leader committed to making a difference in the world.
