- Honors Program
Founded in 1978, the Honors Program at Baruch College serves the mission of CUNY, by offering students access to excellent educational opportunities. The program emphasizes five key experiences: academic engagement; leadership and service; global experiences; arts and cultural engagement; and research and creative inquiry. An incubator of high-impact learning opportunities, the Honors community comprises Macaulay Honors College at Baruch, local Honors programs, and Baruch’s National and Prestigious Fellowships office.
The Honors classroom experience stresses excellent teaching, academic rigor, and active learning, seeking to use NYC “as text” and other engaged pedagogies, including undergraduate research. Outside the classroom, students engage in community service and are introduced to a rich array of cultural programming both at Baruch and throughout New York City. Through an assigned Honors advisor, Honors supports student success by providing academic support, community-building, and advising that is holistic and that connects students to experiential learning opportunities.
