Overview
The Gabelli School of Business, originally founded in 1920 as the Fordham School of Business, was renamed in 2010 following a major gift from alumnus Mario Gabelli, the renowned investor. Located within Fordham University, a Jesuit institution, the school has built a strong reputation for finance, accounting, and business ethics, leveraging its proximity to Wall Street and Manhattan's corporate hubs. It is AACSB-accredited and consistently ranked among top business programs nationally for undergraduate and graduate education.
