Students in business curricula who plan to pursue bachelor’s degrees at Baruch College should be aware of the following: Baruch requires that students pursuing a B.B.A. or B.S. in Business complete a course in business calculus before they may take junior-level business courses. Students may take MA128 (4 credits – MA120 is an acceptable pre-requisite) at Queensborough to satisfy this requirement.
