Admission Process

There are no applications. Students who fulfill requirements stated above will automatically be reviewed for admission approximately 2-3 weeks after the semester ends.  

Exceptions that require manual processing:

• Students whose lowest calculus (transferred or AP credit) is MTH 3010 or higher must go to Rm VC 13-240 to be manually admitted into Zicklin after completing all eligibility requirements stated above.

• Students who have transferred pre-business courses that posted to their Baruch transcript with grades (A+, D-, S, or P) must go to Rm VC 13-240 after completing all eligibility requirements stated above to be manually admitted into Zicklin.

In order to be considered for admission, students must have an intended BBA plan (major) on their CUNYfirst account prior to completing all eligibility requirements. Students can check their CUNYfirst Student Center (click “My Academics” link) to see if their plan (major) is correct. If it is not currently an intended BBA plan, make sure to submit an intended major change form to the Registrar's Office before the semester ends, or else your admission into Zicklin will be delayed.
