Baruch Gets High Marks in Latest MBA Rankings

Rated Best Public MBA Program in New York;
Moves Up to 64th in Nation

US News and World Report has ranked Baruch’s full-time MBA program as the best graduate business degree granted by a public institution in New York State, and 64th among all graduate business programs in the nation, according to the magazine’s 2006 edition of “America’s Best Graduate Schools.” The ranking reflects a considerable advance over last year’s 87th-place position on the influential national list, and emphasizes the College's growing national reputation as a center for excellence in business education.

The Zicklin School’s full-time MBA ranks third overall in New York City, behind Columbia University’s School of Business and NYU’s Stern School of Business. The magazine also rated the program 33rd in its list of the top public MBA programs in the country. Baruch’s part-time MBA program was rated the 25th best in the country.

The improved standing of the graduate program comes on the heels of last year’s ranking of the undergraduate business program as 48th in the nation, which represented a significant advance. US News and World Report also named Baruch the most diverse college in America last year, awarding the College that honor for the sixth year in a row.
