O'Malley School of Business
About
A Lasallian business education for the future of work.
The O'Malley School of Business prepares ethical, forward-thinking leaders to shape industries, communities, and the global economy. Rooted in the Lasallian Catholic tradition and located in the heart of New York City, we combine rigorous academics with real-world experience to help students lead with purpose.
Our Mission
A Transformative Business Education
Preparing leaders with integrity, intellectual curiosity, and a desire to change the world.
The O'Malley School of Business provides a transformative education that develops business leaders with integrity, intellectual curiosity, global consciousness, and a desire to change their community and the world for the better. Our mission is rooted in the Lasallian Catholic values of Manhattan University, where a liberal-arts foundation, ethical grounding, and commitment to inclusion shape every program we offer. We believe that business education should do more than build careers. It should prepare students to lead with purpose, contribute to their communities, and make a meaningful impact wherever they go.
Prepared for the Real World
Four Priorities Shaping the Future of Business Education
Sustainability, digital transformation, ethics, and career readiness are embedded in everything we teach.
The O'Malley School is built around four strategic priorities that define how we prepare students for the careers of tomorrow. These priorities are woven into our curriculum, our research, and our partnerships, ensuring that every graduate leaves prepared for a competitive and evolving global economy.
Lasallian Ethics & Values
Every program reflects our Lasallian Catholic identity, with ethics, integrity, and respect for human dignity at the center of how we teach and lead.
Sustainability
Sustainability is embedded across the curriculum, preparing students to lead organizations that meet the demands of an environmentally and socially conscious economy.
Digital Transformation
Artificial intelligence, machine learning, and analytics are now essential to modern business, and our coursework reflects the tools and skills employers want most.
Educating for the Future of Work
We prepare students for the careers ahead through interdisciplinary education, critical thinking, and a balance of technical and soft skills that translate across industries.
What Sets Us Apart
Business Education Grounded in Purpose
What makes the O'Malley School different from other business schools is the balance we strike. Our curriculum blends rigorous business theory with the breadth of a liberal-arts education, enabling students to think critically across disciplines. Faculty work directly with students on research, coursework, and career development, providing the kind of mentorship that defines a Lasallian education. Our small classes, ethical foundation, and focus on the whole student create an environment where graduates leave with more than a degree. They leave with the values, judgment, and confidence to lead with integrity.
Among the Top 6% of Business Schools Worldwide
AACSB accredited. NYC connected. Student-centered.
The O'Malley School holds accreditation from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, a distinction held by only five percent of business schools worldwide. In July 2024, our accreditation was reaffirmed following a comprehensive review that recognized the intellectual contributions of 503 faculty members during the review period, including 116 peer-reviewed journal articles and 182 conference presentations. This achievement reflects the depth of scholarship and teaching that defines our faculty and the quality of education our students receive.
Built in the World's Business Capital
New York City as Your Classroom
Proximity to one of the world's most dynamic business ecosystems shapes every part of an OMSB education.
The O'Malley School's location in New York City gives students access that few other business schools can match. Executive speakers visit campus throughout the year, students intern at firms across finance, marketing, analytics, and management, and faculty bring real-world client work into the classroom. Through site visits to the New York Stock Exchange, real estate capstone projects with local professionals, and the daily energy of a global capital, students learn not just about business but from it. New York City is more than a backdrop. It is part of the education itself.
Beyond the Business School
Interdisciplinary by Design
Partnerships across Manhattan University expand what a business education can be.
Business does not happen in isolation, and neither does an OMSB education. Through cross-school collaborations with the School of Engineering, the Kakos School of Arts and Sciences, and the School of Continuing and Professional Studies, students gain access to interdisciplinary programs that prepare them for how today's industries actually operate. The Green Power and Sustainable Energy certificate combines business, engineering, and continuing education. Entrepreneurship initiatives bring together students from Business, Engineering, and Science. New collaborations with the Kakos School expand programming in digital arts and marketing. These partnerships reflect a commitment to breaking down silos and building an education that mirrors the complexity of modern careers.
