The GSB Difference

Want to study in a beautiful waterfront setting with close proximity to New York City and Boston? Do you value small classes and opportunities to work with faculty on research and community projects? Is an internship or another professional experience part of what you value in a quality business education? Love business but not sure of a specific career path? GSB is all of this and more.

Vision

Our vision is to be the school of choice for those who seek excellence in business education framed by personal attention and enhanced by experiential opportunities and the strongest emphasis on positive outcomes for students.

The Gabelli School of Business has five undergraduate Program Outcomes that are closely tied to mission and that include:

• Students will incorporate critical and analytical thinking when solving business problems.
• Students will be able to function successfully in a team environment
• Students will demonstrate professional communication skills.
• Students will incorporate ethical dimensions when solving business problems.
• Students will demonstrate awareness of diversity influences on global business activities.

Our Students

At GSB, our students come from a range of backgrounds and with a diverse set of interests. From the moment they arrive on campus we both challenge and support them so that they are ready to thrive as soon as they receive their diploma. 

Technology and Resources

Technology is a critical dimension in learning the art and science of business. GSB hosts state-of-the art technology like our Bloomberg analytics lab; the Robert F. Stoico Financial Services Center that serves finance, business analytics and marketing research; and a newly renovated facility for the Center for Advanced Financial Education (CAFE) complete with Bloomberg and Moneynet.com resources that help our students manage two real-dollar portfolios in real time.

Experiential Learning

We bridge theory with hands-on practice so that our students graduate already prepared with the academic knowledge and real-world experiences employers are seeking. With experiential education as the cornerstone of a GSB education, our students have the opportunity to dive deeper and challenge themselves through real-world projects, national competitions, internships and study abroad programs.
