Message from the Dean

John A. Elliott

Welcome to the Zicklin School of Business Web site. We appreciate your interest and invite you to explore our offerings. Baruch College has been educating America’s business leaders since before the days of our namesake, Bernard Baruch. Mr. Baruch graduated from the College in 1889 and went on to become an extraordinarily successful financier and a prominent advisor to six presidents. Today we bear his name proudly and continue to provide the access to an excellent education at reasonable cost that enabled him to launch his career.

The Zicklin School has a full range of business degree programs that are nationally accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB). Accreditation by this body means that we have committed to excellence and to the strategic planning and decision making that support excellence. It also means that we invite review every five years to assure that we progress against our plans and do what we say we will. In fact, the most recent visit happened on October, 2009.

You may be visiting our website as a potential undergraduate, graduate or Ph.D. student. You may be here as a recruiter, an alumnus or to learn more about the College. In any event, welcome. We designed this website to meet your diverse needs and we update it regularly to stay abreast of a changing reality.

Some hints as to navigation and structure. The Zicklin School is the business school at Baruch and you are on our site. To return to the Baruch site, simply click on the name Baruch College at the top of this page. To return to the Zicklin site from the Baruch site simply click on Zicklin in the drop down menu “Who we are.”

Recently, the Dean’s E-Newsletter became a mainstay of our website to keep all Zicklin constituents updated on faculty research, student activities, and on-campus events. To read the current and earlier editions see the “About ZSB” drop down menu.

Cordially,

John A. Elliott
Vice President and Dean, Zicklin School of Business
