Purpose, Vision, Mission

“Authentic human development concerns the whole of the person in every single dimension.”

Pope Benedict XVI, Caritas in Veritae

Purpose

To foster and support scholarship and teaching that explores how business can contribute to integral human development, and to educate business leaders who seek to cooperate with all stakeholders in society in solidarity, competing towards excellence both internally toward the best version of themselves and externally in the marketplace.

Vision

To create an academic and intellectual community investigating normative business ethics by drawing on the disciplines of theology, philosophy, law, economics, policy, psychology, history, and other disciplines.

Mission

As a leading business school guided by the University’s Catholic identity, the Mendoza College of Business seeks to grow the good in business to improve the human condition in an ever-changing society. Through impactful research and educational programs, we contribute to the formation of ethical business leaders who integrate the mind and the heart, and have the competence to see and the courage to act.
