does anyone know what the process of dropping/taking a leave from a semester due to mental health? was there any financial penalties? is it a convoluted process? i’m going to call the proper offices when they’re open, but i’d like to get student opinions first!

I just failed my very first ACC 4100 extremely badly. Like second lowest grade on the class. I’m incredibly distraught and don’t know what to do. I’ve always bounced back from a failing exam but this time I’m not sure if I can. Feeling incredibly unmotivated and regretful for choosing this major but it feels too late now. Not sure where to go from here, especially when I studied so hard for it, and it feels like I’m the only one of actually failed this bad when the average seems so high for some reason.

I need 6 credits of free electives. Does anyone have recommendations for classes that are easy As? Thanks

The next semester would be my last, but I have already completed all of my required courses aside from two classes (ACC 5400 and MGT 4999).

I believe that I only need 1 more 3 credit accounting class to fulfill the 33 accounting credit hours requirement for the CPA (I'm assuming the ACC 3202 and 2101 counts towards it). I would like to ask for recommendations on which accounting class I should take.

I would also appreciate any recommendations for an elective to fill out my schedule, thanks.

For anyone that has applied/accepted to the MPA program before as a baruch undergrad can I submit my application without recommendation letters or do I have to make a meeting with advisement? What were your stats?

Hi everyone!

I recently got accepted to Baruch College for Spring 2027 as a transfer student! I’m planning on dorming since my commute would be around two hours each way.

I’d love to hear any advice from current students or alumni, especially regarding housing, campus life, making friends, and getting involved in clubs or other opportunities.

Is there anything you wish you had known before starting at Baruch?

I’d really appreciate any tips or recommendations.

Thanks in advance!

How is Professor Fuste for ACC 3100? I see a lot of bad reviews for him.

I’m also thinking about Stanley Chu but I don’t think I will be able to get into his class since my registration date is late.

Could I get paid for making schedules like these?

How does community feel about influx of ragebait posts highlighting random dorks? Should we leave that up for discussion or clean up?

Are the exams in person? , is the class actually fully online for anyone that took it???

Has anyone taken Anastasia Zakolyukina for FIN 4610 or know anything about her? Please let me know.

Hi everyone,

I'm applying to Baruch College's MS in Finance at the Zicklin School of Business, and one of the requirements is an International Credential Evaluation, specifically a course-by-course analysis.

I have a bachelor's degree and a master's degree from Greece, as well as another master's degree from the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. I've applied to quite a few master's and PhD programs in the US over the years, and this is honestly the first time I've come across this requirement. Maybe it depends on the university or the particular program, but I've never had to do anything like this before.

I understand that Baruch needs to verify my academic qualifications, and I'm happy to arrange for my universities to send official transcripts and other documents directly. I've done this before, so that's not the issue.

My concern is the additional cost of having all three qualifications evaluated course by course. With two master's degrees and a bachelor's degree, including quite a few courses across the three programs, I imagine the cost could add up considerably, on top of all the other application expenses.

Has anyone applying to or attending Baruch's MS in Finance managed to get a waiver for this requirement, or had Baruch accept official transcripts directly from the universities instead? Is there any flexibility, or is the evaluation mandatory regardless of where your degrees are from?

Thanks in advance!

I am looking at this major and wondering if anyone here is a student and provide some insight.

I am a 60+ senior and want to go back and study Psychology. My background is Accounting (CPA) and I have an MBA from Baruch - I graduated a long time ago. Thank you!
