Demonstrating English proficiency

If you've never taken an English course at an American secondary school or college, you will be required to submit an official TOEFL or IELTS score. Baruch College's TOEFL code is 2950.

We prefer a score of 95 out of 120 or an IELTS score of 7. TOEFL scores are valid for 2 years.

Financial aid for international students

International students are not eligible for American federal or New York state aid. However, there are alternative means of financial aid available.

International students may apply for private student loans. Most private loans require a credit worthy co-signer who is either a permanent resident or U.S. Citizen.

There are also numerous private scholarships available, and international students may also qualify for the Baruch Student Employment Program (consult the Office of Financial Aid for more information).
