Baruch College has evolved
from the innovative School of Business and Civic Administration
established in 1919 by the Trustees of The City College
of New York. In 1953, it was renamed in honor of a
distinguished alumnus and former trustee of The City
College.
Baruch's Zicklin School of Business has received high ratings from
Business Week, Forbes, and U.S. News & World Report.
Its uniquely diverse student body and its location between
midtown Manhattan and Wall Street combine to provide an
exciting environment for the study of business. Approximately
15,000 students are enrolled in Baruch's comprehensive
graduate and undergraduate programs. These students come
from all over the world and speak more than 90 languages.

The Graduate Center was established
in 1961 as the school for doctoral studies of The City
University of New York. The Graduate Center is a consortium,
combining resources from throughout CUNY to offer comprehensive
and high quality research training. In three decades it
has grown to an enrollment of nearly 4,000, with students
in programs covering most areas of the humanities, social
sciences, and sciences. Several of its specialized programs,
including the Doctoral Program in Business, are located
at individual senior colleges within the CUNY system.
In 1999 the Graduate Center relocated to a beautifully
renovated building in mid-town Manhattan, just nine blocks
north of the campus of Baruch College.

Baruch is committed to
providing its students with a modern, technologically
advanced learning environment. In 1994, the College
opened its state-of-the-art Information and Technology
Building. Its centerpiece is the William
and Anita Newman Library, which provides the Baruch
community with access to vast information resources.
The complex also includes the Baruch Computing and Technology
Center, which provides over 500 computer workstations
with internet access and multimedia capability.
In March 2000, Baruch unveiled the Subotnick Financial
Services Center. This innovative instructional center
puts the Zicklin School in a small, elite league of
institutions--MIT and Carnegie Mellon among them--that
offer students and faculty a first-rate simulated trading
environment, complete with live data feeds, real-time
market quotes, computerized trading models, and advanced
network technology. The latest phase of Baruch's campus
enhancement program is the construction of a new 17-floor
Academic Complex, which is scheduled for completion
in fall 2001. Serving as the new home of Baruch's Zicklin
and Weissman schools, the complex will feature classrooms
and research facilities, a physical fitness center,
a theatre and recital space, and a television studio. |
