For New Marxe Graduate Students
Getting Started at Baruch
We know that starting a new graduate program at a new school may not be the easiest. So we came up with a new student checklist for students to follow as they are preparing for their first semester. Below are also some good resources and offices to keep in mind while getting started at Baruch.
