    For Baruch College, 2020 marked another impressive year of earning top rankings and high marks that recognize the institution’s academic excellence, access and value, and social mobility for its students.

    U.S. News & World Report, Money, Washington Monthly, and CNBC are among the numerous prominent organizations that have determined Baruch College as the best—or among the best—in the nation, region and New York within the last 12 months.

    “There are very few institutions that can boast—year after year—of high academic renown while also providing an affordable education to students from diverse backgrounds and social classes, especially those students who come from underserved communities.” said Baruch College President S. David Wu, PhD.

    “While we acknowledge the successes of 2020, Baruch College resolutely steps into the new year with its ongoing commitment to serve as a model institution for public higher education, and one that is advancing career and professional leadership opportunities for all of our students.”
