Baruch College, Public college in Manhattan, United States
Baruch College rises as a tower in the Gramercy Park neighborhood and offers students a campus spread across 17 floors. The institution comprises three schools: business, arts and sciences, and public and international affairs.
The college began in 1919 as a division of City College and gained independence in 1968 within the CUNY system. The name honors Bernard Baruch, an alumnus and donor from the early twentieth century.
The college carries the name of financier Bernard Baruch and draws students from more than 160 countries who gather in its classrooms. Many graduates go on to work in the Wall Street sector or in public agencies across New York.
The campus sits near Madison Square Park and is reachable by several subway lines. Visitors can explore the Mishkin Gallery when an exhibition is on display.
The gallery on the ground floor opens its doors to the public beyond the college community. Some exhibitions display works by students alongside established artists.
