Global Business Major

You have a passion for business and a desire to make a positive difference in our world. You have big ambitions and a willingness to work hard. In the global business major at Fordham, these qualities are the very bedrock of success. Studying global business administration you'll become part of the next generation of business leaders through a rigorous and innovative program immersed in the world financial capital of New York City.

The global business major allows students to customize their business degrees by picking one primary concentration and combining that with other secondary concentrations or minors. This degree plan also ensures that students have enough room to study abroad at any of our 150+ partner programs worldwide. 

This major is available only to Gabelli School students on the Lincoln Center campus.

Note: The global business major is only available to Gabelli School of Business students at Lincoln Center who were admitted to begin their degree in Fall 2025 or earlier.

However, most Gabelli School at Lincoln Center students who began their degree after Fall 2024 are pursuing other available majors at the Gabelli School (see the list of available majors in the relevant Bulletin section). Therefore, course selection options for the global business major may be limited as the program is phased out.

Students must also complete the Gabelli School business and liberal arts Core Curricula. In addition, all students complete between three and seven liberal arts electives depending on their major requirements.
