Vision

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.
