Rome, Italy
The Peter J. Tobin College of Business has, for almost eight
decades, consistently produced principled graduates known for their
business acumen, leadership and vision. In response to a constantly
changing multinational business environment, the College offers
programs and insights that enable our graduates to successfully
chart their way through an increasingly challenging business
landscape. The College is at the forefront of management in a
multinational context, as demonstrated by both our global focus in
courses and our campus in Rome, Italy.
Students may complete their entire M.B.A. degree at the Rome
Graduate Center or simply one or two semesters immersed in the
beauty and culture of Rome. The location of the campus in Italy and
its proximity to major business and financial centers offer
additional opportunities for intellectual exchange and practical
experience.
London, England
For a true European business world experience, students can
register for the London Seminar. This two-week, accelerated session
in London gives students real life insight into conducting business
in Europe. The influences that European business
practices have on the U.S. and in turn, the U.S. impact on European
business are primary topics of discussion. Offered through our
Finance and Economics Department, the seminar’s intensive nature
allows for in depth exploration of relevant and contemporary
business topics within a limited time frame. Classes are held at
the Florida State University Center and are complemented by
corporate field visits, presentations from top executives and
informal cultural excursions. Students are expected to complete a
comprehensive written report upon their return to New York.
Companies that have hosted the London Seminar in recent years
include Abbott Capital, the Bank of England, Citigroup’s
Microfinance Division, Goldman Sachs, Lloyds of London, and the
London Metals Exchange.
