Founded in 2018, John Cabot University’s Frank J. Guarini School of Business, located in the heart of Rome, is ideally placed to educate a new generation of business leaders.
The School’s culturally diverse students are taught by an international faculty that is both highly qualified and dedicated to an education that enriches business courses with the strengths and rigor of an American liberal arts education. In this distinctive educational environment, students develop an intellectual breadth that provides them with a wider outlook to envision and build a future business world that is ethical, compassionate and open to innovation.
The School of Business also serves as a focal point to encourage an action-oriented dialogue with the local and international community in the profit and not-for-profit sectors based on inclusivity and openness of vision. This wide educational space is the underlying foundation that aims to contribute to the development of dynamic entrepreneurial ecosystems.
The mission of the Frank J. Guarini School of Business is to provide excellence in business education that capitalizes on the University’s liberal arts tradition and international environment to build an ecosystem of ethical, compassionate, and innovative business leaders who are prepared to engage in an interconnected, complex world.
The School of Business achieves its mission by supporting and developing synergies among the dedicated missions of the Department of Business Administration, the Department of Economics, the Institute for Entrepreneurship, and the Center for Continuing and Professional Education.
John Cabot University’s Frank J. Guarini School of Business received accreditation from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) in 2022. The fundamental purpose of AACSB accreditation is to challenge business educators to pursue excellence and continuous improvement in their business programs. John Cabot is one of the first American universities in Europe to have earned this prestigious accreditation.
The School of Business was created thanks to a generous donation by the Hon. Frank J. Guarini (1924 - 2026), Chairman Emeritus of the JCU Board of Trustees. After a distinguished career as an attorney, Mr. Guarini served in the New Jersey State Senate for two terms and in the U.S. House of Representatives for seven terms. Throughout his career in public and private life, he always maintained a strong interest in education. He founded centers and institutes at Dartmouth College, New York University School of Law, St. Peter’s University, New Jersey City University, and John Cabot University. Ever since he joined the JCU Board of Trustees in 1995, Mr. Guarini has shown unwavering support for the University.
F.J.G. Business School Director Silvia Carnini Pulino reflects on what Frank J. Guarini and his generosity teaches us about how universities endure.
The aim of the annual research workshop is to create a forum for academic exchange between professors and students at the FJG School of Business. The workshops seek to encourage faculty members and students to share their research, knowledge, and expertise, and to foster an open dialogue that can lead to a better understanding of the opportunities that exist in the research environment.
Through interactive sessions and discussions, the workshops explore key issues in different fields and identify ways in which professors and students can work together to address them. Ultimately, the goal of the workshops is to facilitate the transfer of knowledge and promote a culture of collaboration and innovation.
The next workshop will be in June of 2027. Updates will be posted here.
