MBA & MS Information Sessions - Something Special


If you haven’t been a part of it, you’re missing something really special. Each year Zicklin’s Graduate Admissions Office offers prospective students the opportunity to see what we’re all about at monthly MBA & MS Information Sessions Supported by the entire graduate programs team and faculty from every department, the sessions, which run from September to May, are becoming more and more popular. This season close to 2500 prospective students registered and we welcomed close to 60% of them to hear Dean Elliott, Graduate Programs Executive Director Frank Fletcher, Graduate Career Management Center Director Tracy Handler, and Graduate Admissions Director Fran Murphy. The prospects also had time to meet with directors and representatives from Zicklin’s Office of Graduate Student Life, Full-Time Honors Program, Graduate Student Services, Graduate Academic Services, and Baruch’s Financial Aid office. Later they had the opportunity to sit in a breakout session run by faculty from every major we offer.

Here’s what some of them had to say:

"Overall, the best information session I have been to for NYC business schools. It showed a great commitment that Baruch has for its students."
"I am enrolled as a graduate student at Baruch. I had some time on my hands yesterday and wanted to see the quality of this information session, given that I attended other information sessions at other schools during my search for a B school. Yesterday’s session proved to me that I made the right choice."
"I came to the information session to get a basic overview and everyone who presented did a great job at doing that and answering questions that popped up as the session progressed. My girlfriend came with me as a guest and even she’s considering applying now too. Thank you for holding the session!"
“When I came to your information session I felt like a person and not a number, like I did at some other schools I went to. You guys really made me feel welcome and important. Keep up the fantastic work. Your program will produce many great business leaders.”
