College Profile: CUNY Bernard M Baruch College
Baruch College has a dual emphasis on undergraduate and graduate education. Baruch is distinguished in undergraduate education by a focus on professional educational degree programs integrated with the arts and sciences and by admissions standards which enroll students with the demonstrated ability and motivation to work diligently toward their academic goals. Baruch’s graduate programs are designed in accordance with national standards for selective, nationally ranked graduate education. Baruch is noteworthy for its commitment to teaching and to research, for its emphasis on communication skills, for its support for lifelong learning, and for its alertness to opportunities to match the College’s activities with the needs of its constituencies.
Specifically, Baruch emphasizes its commitment to a professional education in the business and public affairs disciplines and the necessity of a broad base in the arts and sciences to sustain that commitment. Emphasis is placed on the importance of graduate programs, which account for an increasing proportion of College enrollments, as well as on the faculty research that will sustain and attract students to those programs. Baruch envisions continuing efforts to ensure excellence in its extant programs while projecting expansion in graduate education and faculty research to extend excellence.
The College’s reputation has been built on the high quality of its professional programs in the business and public affairs disciplines. These programs integrate a career-oriented curriculum with the arts and sciences, which are universally recognized both as a source of academic enrichment and as an integral part of a university-based professional education.
Housing the only Business and Public Affairs schools in the City University, Baruch emphasizes offerings at the baccalaureate, masters, and doctoral levels in business and public affairs disciplines. The baccalaureate programs of these schools blend technical career preparation with the development of the intellect and the cultivation of aesthetic and ethical values. The Arts and Sciences school offers an array of traditional majors in the arts, humanities, natural and social sciences, and also provides a selection of programs that reflect Baruch’s linkage of professional education with the arts and sciences.
Baruch’s supportive alumni credit the College with transforming their professional and personal lives; the College is confident that its programs, which derive from its unique mission, will assume increasing importance in meeting the expectations which the public holds for its educational institutions.
Baruch is a selective institution with a challenging curriculum consistent with its standards for admission, retention, and graduation. Its undergraduate programs, beginning in the freshman year, are designed for students whose background and motivation have prepared them for rigorous college-level work. Baruch’s graduate programs are designed in accordance with national standards for selective, nationally ranked graduate education.
Baruch’s faculty are expected to balance their contributions to teaching and research.
