Peter J. Tobin College of Business, St. Johns University

With campuses, resources and connections in New York City and Europe, the Peter J. Tobin College of Business at St. John’s University enjoys international acclaim for educating ethical leaders for today’s global business environment.

A graduate degree from the Tobin College of Business commands respect. Tobin is among only 25% of business schools with full accreditation by the prestigious AACSB International – The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. In fact, Tobin has dual AACSB accreditation for its business and accounting programs — a distinction shared by very few business schools.

Today’s executives need a broad understanding of business practices and the trends that shape them. The Tobin College of Business provides this understanding through an interdisciplinary approach to business that combines a focus on ethics with experiential learning.

Students at the Tobin College of Business also benefit from the dynamic business and cultural environments in which St. John’s University’s campuses are located: three residential New York City campuses (Queens, Manhattan and Staten Island); and an international campus in Rome, Italy. The Tobin College of Business also is home to the School of Risk Management, one of America’s leading schools for actuarial science, insurance and risk management. The School of Risk Management was formed when the 100-year-old College of Insurance merged with St. John’s Tobin College of Business in 2001.

The Tobin College of Business offers the following graduate programs: M.B.A. program with concentrations in accounting, computer information systems for managers, controllership, executive management, finance, international business, marketing management, risk management, taxation, or a joint M.B.A./J.D. (in Accounting).

Also offered are M.S. programs in accounting, enterprise risk management, investment management, management of risk, taxation, or a joint M.S./J.D. (in Accounting).

Enhancing our graduate students’ career preparation, the Peter J. Tobin College of Business offers a variety of special programs and resources:

The Student Managed Investment Fund was donated by a Tobin alumnus. The multi-million-dollar fund provides students with experience at researching and managing a portfolio. Returns from our investments are used to fund scholarships for Tobin graduate students.

The Executive in Residence Program provides students with the opportunity to serve as consultants working closely with managers at actual for- and not-for-profit companies.

Academic Service-Learning and Economic Development allows students to apply their knowledge to assist small businesses and organizations serving those in need.

Global Studies: Students have opportunities to study around the world, including St. John’s campus in Rome, Italy and take part in a two-week intensive program in London, England. Global Destination courses are unique courses incorporating distance learning and a trip the the country which the course placed its focus. During the study abroad component, students visit companies, meet with executives and dignataries in that location. Recently, Global Destination courses have been offered in Romania, Chile, and Peru. Other Global Destination courses are being planned.

Our graduates’ success reflects the high academic quality of the Tobin College of Business. Many of our more than 34,000 alumni hold the most senior executive positions in major business and non-profit organizations worldwide. They form a strong network of support for current graduate students, returning to campus to teach and serving as a valuable resource for internships and career opportunities.
