Tobin College Announces Establishment of Graduate Dean's Scholars Program

The Peter J. Tobin College of Business at St. John’s University is pleased to announce the establishment of its Graduate Dean’s Scholars Program. The Program will enroll its first group of Dean’s Scholars in the fall 2007 semester. 

Individuals will be selected for this honor based upon previous academic achievements, leadership experience and/or potential, commitment to their community, and potential for business success.  This small group of awardees will receive both recognition as a Dean’s Scholar as well as a partial tuition scholarship to offset the costs of attending the Tobin College MBA Program.   Only new part-time students who display outstanding academic credentials will be considered for this merit-based scholarship. There is no need to submit an additional application for this scholarship, as all students applying to the MBA program on a part-time basis will be considered.

In commenting on this new program, Dean Richard A. Highfield said, “As the quality of our student body has improved markedly over the last few years, this opportunity to formally recognize our very best students will help to further distinguish both their own achievements and the College.”

The Peter J. Tobin College of Business has provided the highest quality business education for over eighty years.  Many alumni have risen to senior executive positions in the financial services community in New York and around the world.  Degrees offered include the Bachelor of Science, Master of Business Administration and Master of Science.  The College encompasses the School of Risk Management, Insurance and Actuarial Science, which is housed at the University’s Manhattan location in the heart of the New York financial district.  Recent recognitions for the Tobin College include a listing by The Aspen Institute among the top ninety business schools in the United States whose graduate curricula reflect a commitment to social responsibility and sustainability as well as representation among the “The Best 282” Business Schools in America according to The Princeton Review.  For further information, please contact Sheila Russell at (718) 990-1345 or email mbaadmissions@stjohns.edu.
