About the University
Baruch College is ranked among the region’s and nation’s top colleges by U.S. News & World Report, Forbes, Princeton Review, and others. Our campus is within easy reach of Wall Street, Midtown, and the global headquarters of major companies and non-profit and cultural organizations, giving students unparalleled internship, career, and networking opportunities. The College’s more than 18,000 students, who speak more than 110 languages and trace their heritage to more than 170 countries, have been repeatedly named one of the most ethnically diverse student bodies in the United States.
Baruch College is increasingly recognized for supporting the social mobility of students from a wide range of cultural and economic backgrounds. For the second year in a row, CollegeNET’s annual Social Mobility Index ranked Baruch #1 out of more than 900 colleges nationally for “contributing in a responsible way to solving the dangerous problem of economic immobility.” The Education Trust recognized Baruch as a “standout institution” for graduating Pell Grant (low-income) students at a rate 18% higher than the national average. U.S. News & World Report also listed Baruch #2 in “Least Debt” in the North for students, and Washington Monthly ranked the College #8 in “Best Bang for the Buck” in the Northeast.
