Message from Dean Jeffrey M. Peck
Welcome to the Mildred and George Weissman School of Arts and Sciences, a vibrant intellectual and cultural center. With 13 outstanding academic departments, numerous interdisciplinary programs, and a wide range of majors, the Weissman School is an essential part of the Baruch College experience, whether as the home of your chosen major or for the required Tier III minor.
“Arts and sciences are the bloodstream that course through the entire body of knowledge and through our civilization.”
—George Weissman
'39, LLD [Hon.] '82
Small enough to provide personal attention from faculty and staff and large enough to offer an exciting choice of courses and activities, the Weissman School provides you with a learning environment that is supportive yet challenging. At Weissman, we want to encourage you to think hard, write well, and speak clearly about the new knowledge you will acquire in the humanities and social and natural sciences – from the performing arts to mathematics, from journalism to environmental studies. The home of traditional university core liberal arts, the Weissman School also offers exceptional opportunities to broaden your education and expertise through its links with the Zicklin School of Business and the School of Public Affairs.
The Weissman School’s priority is to train you academically, while acknowledging the practical implications of that knowledge in a more competitive global environment. Above all, we hope that your experience at the Weissman School of Arts and Sciences makes you an educated citizen of New York City and the world.
