SUNY Broome signs transfer agreement with Baruch College business school

DICKINSON — SUNY Broome Community College and Baruch College have announced a new transfer articulation agreement that allows Broome students to transfer to Baruch’s Zicklin School of Business. Broome is the first SUNY community college to establish a guaranteed transfer agreement with Zicklin, provided students meet the transfer criteria. Part of the City University of New York (CUNY), Baruch College is located in Manhattan and provides students with internship, career, and networking opportunities. “This guaranteed transfer agreement demonstrates our faculty’s commitment to helping our students achieve their educational goals and obtain their degrees beyond SUNY Broome,” SUNY Broome Community College President Tony D. Hawkins said in a news release. “It is very exciting for prospective students across New York state to know that after two years at Broome, they will be perfectly positioned to complete their four-year degree at one of the nation’s most elite business programs.” SUNY Broome business-administration students who earn an associate degree with a cumulative GPA of 2.5 or higher and satisfy the eligibility requirements for the Zicklin School of Business are guaranteed acceptance to Baruch and Zicklin. “At Baruch, we recognize and understand the distinctive challenges that face transfer students,” Baruch College President S. David Wu said. “Here, student success is everyone’s responsibility. Our faculty and staff are dedicated to fostering a nurturing learning environment, prioritizing a commitment to inclusivity, and providing an extensive and accessible support system. We strive to empower our transfer students, ensuring they feel not only welcomed but also a valued member of our vibrant campus community.” This is SUNY Broome’s ninth 2+2 transfer agreement signed in the last three years, giving business-administration students guaranteed transfer opportunities in the SUNY and now CUNY systems.
