Zicklin is the only CUNY unit accredited by the AACSB-International Association for Management Education. It consistently ranks as one of the best business schools in the nation.[2]
Located at the financial and business capital of the United States, New York City, the school claims to foster an educational environment that encourages different perspectives and graduates individuals who contribute to enterprises in New York and beyond.
In 1919, City College established a School of Business and Civic Administration, offering its first MBA program one year later. This school was renamed in 1953 in honor of Bernard M. Baruch, noted statesman and financier, who was instrumental in the College's formation. In 1968, Baruch became an independent senior college offering the only AACSB accredited business programs within CUNY. It has since grown to become the largest collegiate school of business in the nation.
In 1998, the school was renamed, the Zicklin School of Business, in recognition of an $18 million donation by Lawrence and Carol Zicklin. Zicklin ('57), was formerly the managing partner of investment management firm, Neuberger Berman.
