t the Gabelli School of

Business at Fordham

University, you’ll discover

that the opportunities you

make for yourself often depend first on

what you’re made of.

We help our students develop the strengths

so highly regarded by today’s organizational

leaders: strategic thinking, situational agility,

and determination, so you’ll emerge with

strong values and a grounded sense of self,

free of entitlement.

We’re big-city atmosphere, small-town feel.

A community of thinkers with deep insight

and a broad worldview. A place to immerse

yourself in the world of business and develop

the experience that makes you a sought-

after contributor to the world at large.

S T R O N G L E A D E R S A R E S T R O N G S T O R Y T E L L E R S

Groundbreaking ideas often live or die based on how well you

present them. We offer several courses that teach you how to tell

engaging stories and help you find your voice as a leader instead

of just another boss. You’ll learn why some stories and forms are

more persuasive and inspiring than others, and how to develop your

own voice to more effectively pitch new business, manage client

relationships, and build consensus with people at all levels of

an organization.

To learn about the ethics of leadership, you might take a class that

pulls back the curtain on the dark side of organizations. You’ll attend

plays, then write your own stageplay and perform it live on a New

York stage. These types of innovative classroom experiences will turn

you into a dynamic presenter who’s able to hold an audience spellbound.

S U C C E S S I S N O T A S O L I T A R Y P U R S U I T

Your achievement both in school and out

requires the ability to cultivate a network

of people you can count on. At the Gabelli

School, we offer more than 20 student

organizations with 132 leadership positions

that introduce you to new people, new

ideas, and shared experiences that help

you build a valuable network and sharpen

your leadership skills. Individuals empower

the many, and the many empower the

individual. You’ll participate in fundraisers,

consulting projects, knowledge-sharing

workshops, and even work with your

student colleagues to organize panels on

activist investing or women in business.

Follow the ramps that lead from Grand

Central Terminal’s Main Concourse to one

of several landings with arched stonework

ceilings. With a friend, stand in opposite

corners facing the stonework ... and whisper.

You’ll hear each other plain as day.

Where else don’t you have to shout to be

heard? The Gabelli School, where our small

class sizes and Jesuit teaching philosophy

help you become a compelling force in

business and speak volumes without having

to raise your voice.

L E A R N H O W T O A S K T H E R I G H T Q U E S T I O N S

Beginning in your first week, you

and your classmates are thrown into

tricky situations that require you to

think in ways that challenge convention.

Throughout your MBA experience,

you’ll learn how to ask big questions.

You’ll be exposed to cultural differences

in management styles and challenged

to demonstrate your chops on a variety

of projects—like working directly

with major corporations and nonprofit

institutions to offer strategic solutions

to real-time business challenges. Or

preparing pro bono tax returns for

low-income families.

M I D T O W N N Y C

07

You learn to think on your feet. To present

under fire and go with your gut. And

to develop a “yes, and...” rather than

a “no, but...” style of collaborating.

That’s because learning experiences

like these impart the skills that make

interviewers take notice: situational

agility, sharp public presentation,

and the ability to build on someone

else’s idea to make it stronger. Or the

confidence to look your audience in the

eye and speak with conviction. During

your first MBA year, you will consult with

an NGO in an international market. You’ll

use design thinking to create a product or

service that serves a social need. You will

compete head-to-head with your peers

to creatively visualize data. You’ll tackle

business issues hands on, the way they’re

supposed to be.

What can you learn

about advanced business

strategy by performing

improv comedy?

In two years, how much knowledge-building, skill development, and self-improvement can

you accomplish? At Gabelli, two years is all the time you need to frame your future contribution

to the business world.

Our Full-Time MBA is designed to be transformational—and it’ll feel that way. A smartly planned

core curriculum solidifies your business foundation. Starting as soon as your second semester,

high-level electives begin to develop the specialized expertise that employers want.

How many people have the luxury of immersing themselves in a full-semester study of white-collar

crime? An analysis of emerging markets? An investigation of cybersecurity in business? Full-Time

MBA students take these courses and others (in-person, online, and a mix of the two) alongside

Professional MBAs, who enhance your perspective by bringing their real-world experience to class.

As executive decisions go, this could be among the biggest you’ll ever make.

Like many MBA candidates, you’re likely juggling the competing demands of

work, family, and personal life—all of which can greatly influence the time

you have to earn the degree that will fuel your career aspirations.

But fuel them you must. By any means possible.

This is why we give you the choice of three unique MBA programs

designed around your specific goals and life circumstances. Whichever

program you select, you’ll develop the skills and knowledge to make an

immediate, measurable impact on any organization. Upon completion,

you’ll be prepared to lead and will possess a keen instinct for how profit

can coexist with progress, advancing the Gabelli MBA philosophy of

business that does good for society.

Values and Value

Our Professional MBA lets you customize your degree

and gives you the flexibility to adjust part-time study

to your busy schedule. This program is perfect for those

with five to seven years of work experience who seek

a well-rounded business education that complements

their experience. You can finish your degree in as little as

three years, encompassing nine academic terms.

Work-friendly classes dovetail neatly with your

schedule. You can even take two courses in the same

evening to maximize your time at our midtown New

York City campus.

Professional MBA students have the opportunity to

complete one of seven concentrations to add specificity

to their degree, or they can simply put together the

series of electives that will best strengthen their career

position. Professional MBA students have access to the

same elective courses and academic concentrations as

students in the Full-Time MBA program.

You’ll begin your coursework with Fixed Core

courses: Statistics, Economics, Accounting,

and Ethics. However, the real heart of this

program—the Flex Core—is where you begin

to specialize. You’ll follow that up with a

range of electives to help inform the next

stage of your career. The Professional MBA

wraps up with the Capstone, which you can

think of as the final exam of all final exams.

This immersive experience is your chance to

prove yourself by integrating theory, practice,

principles, and leadership in a simulation of

real-world problem solving.

As New York City’s only Jesuit B-school, the

Gabelli School of Business teaches the values of

conducting business that generates profit while

benefiting others. This “leadership with purpose”

philosophy cultivates a deeper understanding of

people, including yourself and who you want to

become. You’ll graduate knowing how to go above

and beyond—not only to advance your own career,

but to improve society as a whole.

Our unorthodox framework for honing your

decision-making skills puts you into challenging

situations to see how you’ll do. You’ll learn how

to employ your intuition, your conscience, and

your wits to develop a deep understanding of

the problem—then generate insightful answers

that solve it in original ways.

W H A T M A K E S A T H O U G H T F U L L E A D E R ?

The business world desperately needs

unconventional thinking, along with

authentic leaders who can harness those

ideas to solve today’s toughest business

challenges. Guided by a strong moral

compass, Gabelli MBAs possess the

personal building blocks for authentic

leadership—a strong sense of self, anchored

by humility. They are collaborative by

nature and eager to apply that perspective

for competitive advantage designed

to transform their organizations, their

industries, and the world.

( Y O U A R E H E R E . )

Study trips don’t just challenge your cultural assumptions.

They can prepare you for a career in international business

through trial-by-fire learning. These fast-paced, mildly

overwhelming journeys stretch the boundaries of your comfort

zone. In China, for example, you’ll meet with employees at

all levels of an organization, CEOs and workers alike. Spend the

day at home with a migrant worker family, sharing conversation

and a meal. Meet with several other families in suburban homes

and high-rise apartments to learn their culture and customs.

In fact, the entire Fordham University

alumni network is more than 180,000

strong and active. A number of high-

ranking alumni on the Gabelli School’s

advisory board take an active role in

helping MBA students find internships.

We also hold a number of university-

sponsored events, including an Alumni/

Student Supper Club where students dine

in small groups with alumni working in

their field of interest.

E X C U S E S . We live by a simple philosophy: The work you do

out there depends on the work you do in here.

Which is why we’re lean on entitlement, heavy

on hard work.

Combined with our unassuming, “no job too

large or too small” attitude, we cultivate a

mentality born of determination, innovation,

and competitive spirit—the kind of approach

that produces graduates whom employers

line up to hire. In fact, hiring organizations

often comment that Gabelli School students’

knowledge equals or exceeds that of students

from other MBA programs.

How, then, does having a Gabelli MBA open

doors to a more promising career? Not just by

opening them for you, but also by teaching you

how to knock harder. Whatever your specific

program, you leave here with the philosophy

that it’s your responsibility to use your business

education to make a difference. Your career

advisor prepares you for success throughout

your program via career-development workshops,

coaching, corporate information sessions, site

visits, and much more. Gabelli’s approach allows

you to make genuine contributions from your

first day on the job.

Gabelli students aren’t cut from

the typical business-school cloth.

Their backgrounds are woven

from a diverse set of interests and

work experience, their ambitions

patterned on futures bright with

opportunity.

But the thing that really sets them

apart—the trait that runs deep in

today’s most successful leaders—is

a mindset of celebrating shared

results over individual advantage.

This strong sense of community

is one of our central tenets. At

the Gabelli School, we believe

in you and me, not you or me.

T R A N S F O R M A T I O N A L A T M O S P H E R E .

We want you to ask yourself, “What

kind of leader do I want to be?” Then

ask yourself if you’re in the kind of

learning environment that will give you

the knowledge and support you need

to become that person. At Gabelli, we

keep classes small so that every student

has the opportunity to make meaningful

contributions to discussions.

Open forums during class and student

organizations outside it empower

you to speak up, be heard, and make a

difference. With so many chances to take

a leadership role, you can begin to shape

a management style that sets the tone

for a highly successful career.

Because our full-time program follows a

cohort format, you and your classmates

will form irrevocable bonds during your

months of long hours and hard work—the

kinds of close-knit relationships that

last well into your respective careers.

What’s more, your professors aren’t here

to trip you up or weed you out. On the

contrary, their credo is “How can we help?”

We lead by example. So you will, too." D O N ' T C O N S I D E R G E T T I N G A N M B A O N L Y T O I M P R O V E Y O U R

The Fordham Gabelli School of Business, named after a generous gift from

famed investor, philanthropist, and Fordham alumnus Mario J. Gabelli, BS ’65,

cultivates business leaders who have a desire to influence organizational culture

for the betterment of humanity.

Since the launch of our first business master’s degree programs in 1969, we have

remained committed to teaching “leadership with purpose.” By conducting

business that generates profit while benefiting other people, students emerge

from our programs understanding exactly how to go above and beyond to

advance their own careers, their industry of choice, and society as a whole.

Our new 130,000-square-foot building at the Lincoln Center campus marks a new chapter in student life and education at Fordham. A first for the Gabelli School in Manhattan, this state-of-the-art building includes high-tech, flexibly designed classrooms,

study rooms, conference rooms, an ultramodern trading floor with Bloomberg terminals, a three-story library, and dedicated space for design thinking and social innovation.
