Baruch moved up two positions and now ranks #14 on U.S. News & World Report’s just-released “2023 Best Regional Universities-North” list, placing it in the top eighth percentile of public and private colleges and universities.
Among public institutions, Baruch secured the #2 spot in New York and #3 for the Northeast region.
Baruch also had top placements in categories including social mobility, campus diversity, and economic diversity, respectively ranking #1, #2, and #13. Compared to the last year, Baruch improved one position in social mobility, jumped three positions for campus diversity, and rose 14 positions in economic diversity, which assesses schools that enroll large numbers of students from low-income families.
