Tobin College of Business – St. John’s University

History

Initially established as The School of Accounting, Commerce and Finance and The College of Business Administration in 1927, the Peter J. Tobin College of Business was renamed in 2000 after a generous donation from Peter Tobin, the Dean of the College of Business, and his wife. The school received accreditation for master’s business programs from AACSB International in 1982.
