Global Business Education

Global business at the Gabelli School is a two-way street:

• We bring the world to you: The content of every class taught here in New York is global in nature. Read case studies of multinational corporations. Visit Deutsche Bank downtown. Have an in-class guest speaker from BNP Paribas.
• We take you to the world: Study abroad is easy—and every student is encouraged to do it. Go for a full semester if you want. But if you don’t, then go for 10 days with classmates and a professor on a global immersion.

Develop your international portfolio.

Here are some suggestions:

• Earn a  secondary concentration in global business as a Rose Hill student.
• Visit three continents in three years in the Global Business Honors Program.
• Study at Fordham's satellite campus in London.
• Make microfinance loans in Africa and India through the Fair Trade program.
• Hold an internship in the New York City office of a multinational firm.
• Take as many global business courses on campus as you can.

We are offering you a ticket to the world. Write it.
