Managers are in high demand, especially those with a sound business education and training.

A Bachelor of Science degree in Management from the Peter J. Tobin College of Business at St. John’s provides students with a comprehensive understanding of how organizations are structured and expected to run.

Combining challenging coursework, outstanding faculty and top New York-area internships, the program prepares students to assume responsibility for an organization's success in areas ranging from information systems and operational logistics to marketing, sales and human resources.
