Why Baruch College is the best B school
Today we are firmly entrenched in a globalized economy. No longer can any corporation or country go it alone when producing a product or service on a large scale. The key to success today is cooperation on a global scale to maximize resources and minimize costs. Baruch College is perfectly positioned to prepare students for the global economy of today because it is the largest and most ethnically, and racially diversified business school in the world. It is also situated in the heart of New York City, which is the multi-cultural capital of the world. As of this posting the school has 15,730 students enrolled, and of that 2,394 are Graduate Students. The students come from over 120 different countries and speak 110 different languages. The ratio between male and female students is 48% to 52%. But what really makes Baruch special is the style of teaching.
Most of the classes stress a team approach to learning and problem solving. Teams typically range in size from 2 to 10 students and they are chosen at random. So a typical team might have a student from America, China, Brazil, Russia, Chile, Mumbai, etc. Because of the multicultural make up of the teams a global mentality of cross cooperation comes into existence among the team members because that is what is needed for the project to succeed and earn a good grade. Each team arranges its own work schedule, but during the times when they meet to brainstorm for ideas on how to meet the goals of an assignment another thing happens, a cross cultural understanding of different viewpoints evolves and also bonds of friendship start to form between the team members, and those friendships remain in place even after the project is over.
Even though Baruch is a huge school, because of its vertical campus, by design one cannot help but run into their former teammates in the halls on the escalators or in elevators to just say Hi or Hello and touch base on what is going on in each others lives. By design and methodology Baruch is leveraging the human capital of its faculty and students to produce world class business students with a global market mentality and mind set, who are able to take on the challenges of working in todays global business market with first hand experience, upon graduation. There is no other Business school in the world today that can approach this on such a large scale.
