Top Quality Education and Career Opportunities

Baruch’s three schools — the Marxe School of Public and International Affairs, the Weissman School of Arts and Sciences, and the Zicklin School of Business — all offer a wide variety of courses in which the professors “have first-hand experience in the material they are teaching students.” Located in Manhattan, Baruch “takes full advantage of being in the greatest city in the world” where students have “access to internships, big companies, and Wall Street.”
Baruch has connections with many companies in New York, which “creates even more opportunities” for students, with “an impressive number of career-developing programs on campus that are free of charge and readily available to all students.”
Vibrant Campus Life
At Baruch, students said there are “great clubs and events always happening around campus,” and “this is New York City, which means you can practically do anything with your day.”
The survey’s findings point out that New York City museums are free for students, and “of course the shopping and food are amazing.”
“The school’s Newman Vertical Campus on Lexington Ave. is a hive of activity…when a student’s eyes look at the breathtaking view of the building, ’It makes you feel proud to be a Baruchi!’”
