Hi guys I'm an accounting major who just transferred to Baruch this fall, and I'm planning to graduate in May 2028. I'm honestly pretty confused about the recruiting timeline lol.

I noticed that a lot of Big 4 and mid-tier firms came to Baruch for recruiting events in Spring 2026, but I'm not sure what they were recruiting for. Were those mostly 2027 internships or full-time positions? And if I attend those events in Spring 2027, would I still have a chance?

I'm also curious about return offers. If you get one after a winter or summer internship, do you usually have to wait another year to start full-time, or can you start right after graduation?

I really want to have a full-time job lined up by the time I graduate, but since I'm a transfer student, I'm worried I might have missed some important recruiting opportunities.

I'd really appreciate any advice or experiences. Thanks so much!

I want to take marketing 3000 and mkt 3520 online but I think Baruch doesn’t have any options for that at the moment the closest thing is hybrid but if it’s possible I would like to take my chances at taking it at another school if it meant I can secure it online has anybody had success getting those courses online at other schools?

I need to vent and get some outside perspective because I feel like I’m losing my mind dealing with academic bureaucracy.

Has anyone else ever felt like their academic advisor is completely disconnected from the reality of being a commuter student with a job and a life outside of school?

Here’s my situation: I’m at QCC trying to transfer to Baruch Zicklin. This past summer, I dealt with a personal loss and some heavy life stuff. Because of that, I had to withdraw from College Algebra. Mind you, this was a 5-week summer course that got compressed into 4 weeks. I was literally on the last day of the class when I had to withdraw, but I managed to finish Trigonometry with a C-.

Now, I’m trying to figure out my math requirement for Zicklin. I found out that MA-114 (a combined College Algebra & Trig course) transfers to Baruch as MTH 2000, which satisfies the Zicklin requirement and unlocks Statistics. It’s a single 4-credit class.

But my advisor is fighting me on it. She’s telling me I must take MA-119 (College Algebra) and Trigonometry as two separate classes during the 3-week Winter session because "that's what DegreeWorks says."

She literally suggested I take two math classes in three weeks. I live 40 minutes away from campus. She expects me to commute to school at 9 AM, leave at 2 PM, go home, and then come right back for a 4 PM class? For three weeks straight? That is a blatant recipe for burnout. And I’m paying out of pocket for this!

I already lost my summer to stress and a bad schedule. I am not sacrificing my winter break, my job, and my mental health just to satisfy a glitchy computer system because the advisor is too lazy to file a manual override or substitution form. MA-114 is literally designed to "hit two birds with one stone" and save time.

I’m so tired of advisors preaching about "time management" and "avoiding burnout," but the second you ask them for a workaround that actually fits your life, they just point at DegreeWorks and tell you there's no other option. It feels like academic violence, honestly.

What is your opinion on this? Have you ever dealt with an advisor who just reads off a computer screen instead of actually helping you? How did you bypass DegreeWorks and get your credits to count?

preferably whichever is the easiest one to take

Has anybody here started studying for the SIE? What resources did you do and did Baruch provide any?

hi! i'm a freshman and i need some help. it's around the time i'm planning for the 2nd semester and i am completely lost. i've tried booking with an academic advisor/peer advisor but they are never any open sessions. i have a general idea based off degree works/my major path of classes i should be taking but i want to verify this will set me on the right path. i also am confused on how i pick professors/times and create my schedule. if anyone can give me advice from their experience or even send me some resources that would be great! thank you!!!

Is anyone minoring in Sociology, I'm not sure what to choose for my minor and was looking into sociology. Is it hard or does it have a heavy workload?

So I have 4 courses I need to take for my major and I have two other courses I need to take would both of those be liberal arts courses ? What does a free elective even mean?

Any feedback about Farid Jahanian ( Fin 3000) and Benjamin Guttmann (MKT 4557)

Is there a Russian club at Baruch? I know there's BOSS but they're affiliated with hilel, is there any that's not affiliated with them?
