Admission Process, Enrollment Requirements and Deadlines

Freshman Requirements
Students who have never attended college should complete an Undergraduate Freshman Application for Admission on which they indicate Baruch College as their first choice. The application requires an official high school transcript (or GED scores and diploma) and a $65 application fee. We suggest students complete a minimum of 4 years on English, 4 years of social studies, 3 years of mathematics, 2 years of foreign language, 2 years of lab science and 1 year of visual arts. Students who meet these criteria will be admitted based on their overall high school academic background and SAT/ACT test scores. All freshmen coming directly from U.S. high schools are required to take the SAT/ACT. Students with a GED over 3000 will be considered provided that they have satisfactorily completed the required high school units. Students who have previously attended a college or post secondary institution are considered transfers.

Transfer Requirements
Students who have attended college(s) or post secondary institution(s) should complete an Undergraduate Transfer Application for Admission on which they indicate Baruch College as their first choice. The application requires an official transcript from each institution attended and a $70 application fee (if applicable). Transfer applicants will be screened initially on cumulative GPA of all institutions attended and academic history. Students who have earned less than 24 credits will also be evaluated on their high school performance.

 

TOEFL Requirements
Citizens of countries where the native language is not English and whose secondary and post secondary education were not in English are required to take the TOEFL exam.
