QUEENS (NYC) NY: Queens College’s new School of Business was established in response to the projected workforce demands for business professionals in New York City, the school is built on a suite of existing programs in accounting, economics, and finance, as well as actuarial studies, international business, and risk management.

School of Business students will also have the opportunity to apply their knowledge right on campus through the Tech Incubator at Queens College, Small Business Development Center, and the college’s partnership with Blackstone LaunchPad.

Among the guests who joined the college president at the opening reception were Congresswoman Grace Meng, NYC Department of Small Business Services Commissioner and City University of New York Trustee Kevin Kim, and Queens Chamber of Commerce President and Chief Executive Officer Tom Grech.
