The Fordham Graduate School of Business Administration is a business school within Fordham University in the United States. It is a graduate school focused on business administration, and should not be confused with the University's undergraduate College of Business Administration. The main campus for the graduate school is located in the New York City borough of Manhattan.
Fordham University's involvement in business started early in the 20th century with the founding of the undergraduate College of Business in 1920. The Graduate School of Business opened in 1969 as part of the redevelopment of Lincoln Center.[1] According to BusinessWeek's MBA Profile, between the New York City and Westchester campuses, the school has 349 full-time students and 1,202 part-time students.[2]
The school was ranked 27th in both the 2006 and 2007 rankings of regional schools conducted by The Wall Street Journal / Harris Interactive, based on its annual survey of corporate recruiters.[3]
The Graduate School of Business is also part of a consortium offering an MBA at Peking University in Beijing, China. This program, known as BiMBA (Beijing international MBA), is listed by Forbes Magazine as one of the most valuable Chinese programs.[4]
