Baruch College ranks #3 among the “Best Colleges for Business Majors,” according to Money magazine’s 2018 analysis of 50 schools in the U.S.

Moving up four spots from a year ago, Baruch places ahead of institutions such as University of Pennsylvania, University of Southern California, Georgetown University, and Boston College.

In its profile of Baruch College, Money cited that “students in Baruch’s well-known Zicklin School of Business benefit from the college’s New York City home—they’re just a few miles from Wall Street and close to the headquarters of many major corporations.”

“We are pleased to be ranked among the country’s top three best colleges for business majors,” said Fenwick Huss, the Willem Kooyker Dean of the Zicklin School of Business. “This latest national recognition brings well-deserved attention to Zicklin’s innovative undergraduate, graduate and executive programs that fully prepare our students to become future global business leaders.”
