Zicklin School of Business – Baruch College

History

Baruch College was established in 1919 as the City College School of Business and Civic Administration, which offered its first MBA program in 1920. In 1953, the school was renamed in recognition of Bernard M. Baruch, who helped found the college. Baruch College is one of the 25 institutions that comprise The City University of New York, the largest urban public university in the United States. The Zicklin School of Business, Baruch’s business school, was named in appreciation for an endowment from alumnus Lawrence Zicklin and his wife, Carol, in 1998. The school is accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB).
