Change in Concentration Within Program

Students in the following programs can request a change in concentration through the advising team. A change in concentration does not change the overall degree objective and does not require a full admission review.  You should discuss with an advisor how a change in concentration may impact your degree requirements. 

Programs with concentrations:

  • MBA: Students can request a change between General and Accountancy.
  • MS Business Analytics: Students can request a change between Accounting Analytics, Data Analytics, and Marketing Analytics.
  • MS Information Systems: Students can request a change between General, Data Analytics, and Cybersecurity and Information Systems.
  • MS Marketing: Students can request a change between General, Digital Marketing, International Business, and Marketing Analytics.
  • MS Statistics: Students can request a change between General and Data Science. 
  • MS Taxation: Students can request a change between General and Financial Planning.

To request a change in concentration, please email ZSBChangeDegree@baruch.cuny.edu and include the following information:

  • Name
  • EMPLID
  • Current Degree and Concentration (example: MS IS General)
  • New Concentration (example: MS IS Data Analytics)

Please allow us 3-4 business days to review and process your requests.

Please note your information will be updated in “real-time” via CUNYFirst; however, it will take 2-3 business days to see the update reflected on your Degree Works.

Students who are requesting to change to a different degree program should review the process for a change in degree objective.
