Our highest priority as we begin the gradual reopening of the campus environment is the health and safety of our students, faculty, and staff. The Baruch Forward site is updated regularly to provide the latest policies, practices, and support needed to navigate the reopening and transition back to in-person learning and work. 

The Office of Financial Aid offers graduate and professional students enrolled in degree programs federal aid to assist them in funding their college education. Click here for a list of financial aid options available to you and your next steps to successfully apply.
