ABOUT BARUCH COLLEGE

Dr. Elliott and his 21 newest colleagues join Baruch at a turning point in the College’s distinguished history, as the Zicklin School seeks to become one of the top tier business schools in the United States. A senior college of The City University of New York (CUNY), Baruch College is a vital academic resource with a historic commitment to providing opportunity to motivated students who have the ability and drive to succeed, many the first in their families to attain higher education. Baruch’s landmark building at 23rd Street and Lexington Avenue is the site of the Free Academy—the nation’s first institution of free public higher education, founded in 1847. The College, which offered its first MBA in 1920, was renamed in 1953 in honor of Bernard M. Baruch, noted statesman and financier. In 1998, with an endowment from alumnus and financier Lawrence Zicklin, Baruch College designated its business school the Zicklin School of Business.

The College has received national recognition for many of its accomplishments.
