Academic Service-Learning

What do you get when you combine a College of Business with the Vincentian Mission?

At St. John's University, we create a business mindset intended to serve and do good work. During his life, the priest who would become St. Vincent dedicated his efforts to providing religious access to those often ignored or excluded. 

At St. John's University, we strive to give greater access with affordable tuition packages, outreach into underserved communities, and other acts of giving to our fellow neighbors. 

Thank you for learning about our efforts, donating your time to join us, or referring us to those in need.

The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program offers training to students of ALL majors so that we may serve our community. Every January, dozens of students are trained to assist in tax filing under the supervision of professional accountants.

The Tobin College of Business requires all sophomore and senior students to engage in business consulting projects as part of their coursework.  These consulting projects take the form of advisement across a variety of business-related issues to not-for-profit organizations. 

Offered as part of required management courses sophomore year, students develop solutions to immediate short-term problems which organizations encounter while senior students focus on developing long-term strategies. The outcome of this project is a body of students who are well informed about current issues affecting organizations, the ability to think creatively and critically in solving problems, and the development of a business presence during a business presentation.
