At John Cabot University, we pride ourselves on providing a cutting-edge education that prepares our students for the dynamic world of business in the heart of Rome's historic and magical city.
The prestigious Frank J. Guarani School of Business has forged a well-earned reputation as a hallmark of progressive education, dedicated to cultivating a new generation of business leaders equipped with the knowledge, ethics, and innovative spirit to navigate the global market.
A Keen Emphasis on Innovation and Inclusivity
Since becoming a JCU Board of Trustees member in 1995, Mr. Guarini has consistently demonstrated steadfast support for the university. Founded in 2018, the Guarini School of Business merges the strengths and rigor of an American liberal arts education with a comprehensive business curriculum. This unique educational model broadens students' intellectual horizons and encourages an environment where ethical considerations and compassion are paramount.
Our international faculty, renowned for their academic credentials and dedication to student success, are instrumental in creating a learning atmosphere that encourages the vision of a business world marked by inclusivity and innovation.
The School of Business fulfills its purpose by fostering and enhancing collaborative efforts between the specific goals of the Department of Business Administration, the Department of Economics, the Institute for Entrepreneurship, and the Center for Graduate Studies.
Such a comprehensive, well-rounded education sets a solid foundation that propels our graduates to future career success, as JCU alumnus Anastasiia Shmatina can attest. Anastasiia completed her studies at John Cabot University in 2018, earning a degree in Business Administration with a minor in Marketing. Immediately following her graduation, she secured an internship in business development at Messagenius, a start-up in Rome that created an app for instant and secure messaging for different organizations, thanks to the Career Fair at JCU. Her responsibilities included revamping the company's brand image, and within two months, she was offered a permanent position.
