"Baruch's MPA program is a great value. It's affordable and well-regarded in New York City, and the faculty are generally excellent. The program is not as rigorous as some others in the NYC area, but if you are truly there to learn, you will come away with an excellent education."

"The school is located near several transit lines and is very easy to get to after work. The program itself is designed for working students so there is no interference with with my job. The program directors really try to keep you on track to graduate and the course load is not cumbersome. I did have two unpleasant experiences with new professors. They did not seem to be used to teaching students because they came from practicing in the field but, the experience and advice they gave was a plus. It was a bit frustrating trying to follow their lesson plan and one kept making mistakes. The program overall is good, I would recommend it to others."

"I love the location and opportunities available to students since the college is located in such a diverse city. The professors are all knowledgable in their respective areas of study. A con would be not having enough events for the part-time night students. Many seminars, speeches, events etc. are held during work hours, so I am rarely able to attend them."

"SPA at Baruch is a great value. Very affordable and designed for students who are also working full-time. There is also a big focus on career development from the very first day. Some classes may not be as rigorous as those at other (more expensive) schools in NYC, but if you're committed to learning, you will have a great experience."

"Although its my first semester their and the commute from Long Island to NYC every day is ... not pleasant, the classrooms seem up to date and make use of brand new comps/projectors. Teachers seem knowledgeable. The only downside is not knowing anyone and with no "campus" per se its seems hard to meet people."

"Baruch College's MS Program in Accountancy is regarded as one of the best in the Northeast in terms of educational quality. I attended Baruch as an undergraduate so I'm well aware of the quality of education. Despite this, it is relatively affordable, particularly the one-year MS program. Not every university offers one-year master's programs, which is why Baruch is such an attractive choice. An added benefit is the diversity, one of the most diverse campuses in the world, including over 16,000 students from 160 countries. It is also easily accessible via public transit."

"Baruch has a great part-time MBA program, allowing students to take classes during the evening and weekends. Unfortunately, even with CUNY tuition rates, it can still be expensive."

"It is my first semester and I am very happy with the school. Just to jump in to main point, the program-MBA is designed to prepare the students with all the necessary skills they need in order to be successful in this fast changing economic environment. The program gets reviewed and updated every year to response current market demands. So far my experience with Baruch has been great."

"So far I have been very impressed with Baruch's professors. They are extremely intelligent and knowledgeable in their fields. They are also approachable, hands-on, understanding and accessible. The professors are what has made my experimence worth every minute thus far. I have a baby at home and knowing I am getting a quality education makes the nights I don't get to put him to sleep that much more manageable because I know it will be better for us in the long run."
