History

In 1919, the City College of New York established a School of Business and Civic Administration, offering its first MBA program one year later. The school was renamed in 1953 in honor of Bernard M. Baruch, a noted statesman and financier who was instrumental in the school's formation. In 1968, after the addition of arts and sciences departments and degree programs, Baruch College became a senior college within the CUNY system.[ citation needed ]

In 1998, Baruch College's business school was renamed the Zicklin School of Business, in recognition of an $18 million donation by Lawrence and Carol Zicklin. Later, Zicklin made an additional $2 million donation to endow Baruch College’s Center for Financial Integrity. Lawrence Zicklin was a former chairman of the board of investment management firm Neuberger Berman.[ citation needed ]
