The undergraduate curriculum at the Zicklin School of Business provides you with the fundamental business knowledge to succeed in a competitive business world. The required business classes for the BBA are supplemented with arts and science courses outlined in Baruch’s Pathways curriculum to give you a well-rounded general education.
Pathways at Baruch
All CUNY colleges have a uniform set of general education requirements known as CUNY Pathways. Although the courses that can be used to fulfill these requirements will differ from college to college, the basic set of requirements will be the same throughout the CUNY system, and with few exceptions any requirement that a student fulfills at one college will be considered fulfilled at any other college to which he or she transfers.
