- The bachelor’s and master’s pathway streamlines current Baruch’s undergraduate and master’s curriculum, allowing Baruch undergraduate students to complete their master’s degree in one year.
- The program helps students quickly meet the educational requirements for the New York State CPA licensure.
- Each student admitted in the program will receive an evaluation.
For information about the process review, visit the Evaluation Process page:
NOTE:
Evaluations are completed once students’ degrees are conferred by the Office of the Registrar. All grades must be posted in order to receive your evaluation and register for classes. For students who apply to the program in the Fall entry and are taking courses in Summer Sessions I & II, they will receive their evaluation and registration access closer to the start of the Fall term.
