Xavier University

The Williams College of Business educates students in business, enabling them to improve organizations and society, consistent with the Jesuit tradition. Four key strategies are employed to give students a strong liberal arts foundation, major-specific technical skills, and soft skills applicable for any career. First, courses blend the theory of business education with practical application. The majority of classes employ some form of experiential learning as a basis for learning. Second, Jesuit traditions and pedagogy are integrated into the curriculum with the goal of graduating men and women for others. Third, a focus on preparing students to succeed both professionally and personally. Finally, a sense of community fosters relationships for life. These four strategies are supported by an overall commitment to the common good and education of the whole person.

The Williams College of Business is nationally recognized and consistently ranked by the Princeton Review and U.S. News & World Report for several business specializations. Year after year, 97-99% of students are employed, attending graduate school, or volunteering within six months of graduation.
