Fordham University
Fordham University is a private, Jesuit research university with two main campuses — Rose Hill in the Bronx, offering a classic collegiate setting, and Lincoln Center in Manhattan, an urban, professional environment steps from major corporate hubs and cultural institutions. Fordham’s Jesuit values shape a campus culture that blends academic rigor with community engagement and service, and its New York City location gives students at every level direct access to employers, alumni, and internships across the city.
Gabelli School of Business
Consistently well-ranked, with strong outcomes
The Gabelli School of Business ranked No. 29 nationally in Poets & Quants’ 2026 Best Undergraduate Business Programs list, with 98% of graduates employed within 90 days of graduation and an average starting salary of $82,568.
NYC as a built-in recruiting advantage
Gabelli leans heavily on its location, with strong connections to New York City companies serving as, in the school’s own words, a “huge boon” for recruiting and internships. MBA graduates go on to firms including Goldman Sachs, Google, KPMG, UBS, and Northwestern Mutual, and Gabelli reports sending the majority of its recent employed MBA graduates into Financial Services, Technology, and Non-Profit sectors.
Consulting exposure built in
Student life includes active consulting and investment teams alongside broader business clubs, and the school’s DEI Board programming runs recruiting and speaker events specifically tied to fields including accounting, finance, and consulting. The Fordham Foundry, the school’s entrepreneurship hub, offers additional hands-on, real-world learning experience.
Global reach
Gabelli students can choose from more than 100 study abroad programs across 50+ countries on six continents, with Fordham’s London program a particular flagship — offering company visits, guest speakers, and for-credit internships alongside coursework.
Programs
Undergraduate concentrations include Finance, Marketing, Digital Media and Technology (at Lincoln Center), Accounting, Business Analytics, International Business, and more — with graduate offerings spanning full-time and part-time MBA, specialized master’s programs, and a strong base of donor-supported research centers, including the Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis and the Center for Digital Transformation.
