course is designed to give students hands-on experience at

approximately $2.4 million.
Tobin students participate in the St. John’s University
Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program
co-sponsored by The Foodbank for NYC. This Internal Revenue Service

Heights and Jamaica, Queens. In 2010, the program generated nearly
$3 million in refunds.

Graduate students at Tobin are offered a number of opportunities
for short-term study abroad through a menu of Global
Destination Courses. These courses incorporate travel to a
destination linked to the academic content of the course where
students witness first-hand how business operates in other
cultures.
The Tobin College offers ample opportunities for course-related
service projects in order to train our students to be socially
responsible business leaders. The GLOBE G.A.P.

entrepreneurship through their strategic support of undergraduate
GLOBE managers in the provision of microcredit to small
entrepreneurs in developing countries.
Honor Societies encourage students to interact
with their peers as they pursue their goal of a graduate degree.
Organizations focused on a number of business areas provide
students the opportunity to begin building their professional
network.

offers upon graduation.
