For Students Applying from CUNY Hostos or BMCC

The Marxe School of Public and International Affairs has articulation agreements with the Hostos program in Public Administration (A.A.S. or A.A.) and the BMCC programs in Public and Nonprofit Administration (A.S.) and Liberal Arts (A.A.) These agreements make it easier for students in those programs to transfer into our Bachelor of Science in Public Affairs. See below for the specific courses in your degree programs that will count toward the Public Affairs major at Baruch.

If you have questions about transferring from Hostos or BMCC to Baruch for the BSPA degree, please contact MSPIA.BSPA@baruch.cuny.edu.
