To make an impact on people's lives and society. While this has always been Bocconi's goal, its boundaries have expanded in over 120 years of history: from Milan – the focus of its founder, Ferdinando Bocconi – to Italy, and from Europe to the world. Today our community of students, faculty and staff represents more than 100 countries: this is because Bocconi has always cultivated a strong spirit of openness and internationalization. Today we are a true global village with connections all over the world. We are partnered with 288 universities and members of 11 international alliances. We offer 37 Double Degrees that enrich our educational curriculum, and there are 75 Chapters in our Bocconi Alumni Community. This global village has its mind in Milan and its heart in Europe.
