Different Applications for Different Purposes
Every Baruch student who wishes to study abroad will need to complete at least two applications.
1. The Baruch Application to Study Abroad
Your Baruch Application to Study Abroad provides us with information about your eligibility and overall preparation for studying abroad. It is also the platform we use to process the Course Equivalency Approval Requests you will submit as part of your application(s). Please see the information in the section Tips for Completing your Application below.
There are two application cycles for your Baruch Application to Study Abroad, each with its own deadline (see table below).
2. Application(s) to Individual Program(s)
In addition to your Baruch Application to Study Abroad, you will usually need to submit a separate application for each program you are applying to attend. The deadlines and procedures for these applications vary; you are responsible for knowing and meeting them.
Exchange program(s)
If you are applying to study on one of Baruch’s exchange programs, you should submit an application to the host/partner university only after you are nominated. Once you have submitted your Baruch Application to Study Abroad, you will be contacted to arrange for an interview about your first choice of exchange destination. Once you are nominated for an exchange program, you will be given instructions on how to submit the application for exchange students to the exchange partner university.
Applications for Direct Enrollment or Sponsored Study Abroad Programs
If you are applying to study abroad through direct enrollment or on a Sponsored Study Abroad Program, you will need to submit a separate application to the host university or Study Abroad Program sponsor, in addition to your Baruch Application to Study Abroad. Each host university or program sponsor will have specific deadlines and procedures applicants need to follow. Please make sure that you are aware of the details of these applications, because you are responsible for meeting all requirements. Your Baruch Application to Study Abroad will NOT serve as an application to the host university or program sponsor.
This information is summarized in the table below:

Please note: As noted above, some of Baruch’s exchange partners have application deadlines that are earlier than Baruch’s deadline for the Application to Study Abroad. In these cases, the deadline for submission of your Baruch Application to Study Abroad will be earlier. Please consult the Exchanges web page to see if the exchange you are applying to has an early deadline. If it does, you are responsible for meeting it.
