Baruch
College City University of New YorkBaruch
College New York is a senior college of The City University of New York . An
internationally recognized educational institution with a proven record
of success, Baruch serves more than 15 000 undergraduate and graduate
students. Among the College s many advantages are its prime location in
the heart of New York, convenient to public transportation and cultural
activities, and its award-winning state-of-the-art library and
multimedia computer facilities. The English Language Program is housed
in the Division of Continuing Studies, which serves 10 000 students each
year in non-degree programs in business, finance, computers, paralegal
studies, real estate, office skills and language.
The
Teaching Method used in the English Language Program is the Rassias
Method, which makes the learning process an engaging experience.
Interactive, dramatic teaching techniques and rhythmic drills help
students learn English better and more quickly than other approaches.
The method emphasizes all language skills, include listening
comprehension, speaking, reading and writing with special emphasis on
oral proficiency.
The English Language Program offered by Baruch s
Division of Continuing Studies provides practical communication skills
for academic and professional success. Classes are taught by dedicated
professionals, and student receive more individual attention because
class size is small, with an average of 15 students per section.
Three
10-week terms and one 7-week term are held each year. Students can
attend on either a full-or-part-time basis; however, those students
holding F-1 visas must attend full-time at least 3 consecutive terms of
the 4 terms each year in order to maintain full-time status. The
full-time program included three core classes that total 18 hours per
week.
Placement tests are given three weeks before term to
determine each new student s proficiency level. Students are placed in
one of ten levels, which range from beginner to advanced. The testing
includes an oral test in English, a written grammar test, and a
composition. All new students must take the placement test before
beginning classes.
Students
enrolled in the program-nearly 75 000 each year- come from countries
throughout the world: Latin America, Europe, Middle East, South Pacific
and China, Japan, and Korea. Day students are primarily international
students who wish to continue their studies in undergraduate or graduate
programs in the United States, while many evening students are
non-native English-speaking professionals who wish to improve their
communication skills. Students are required to have earned a High School
Diploma or equivalent degree.
Fees and other expenses. Our full-time tuition is
$1,425 ($75 non-refundable application fee) for each ten-week term and
$1,125 for a seven-week term; a $50 (non-refundable) testing fee for new
students; an average of $35 to $65 per term books; and about $45 per
term for the Friday Activities Program (optional), which includes museum
visits, boat trips, and other cultural events. Part-time study is priced
per class. A $50 penalty fee (non-refundable) will be charged for
full-time registrations accepted after the registration deadline
(part-time $10).
Services provided include orientation for new
students, held prior to the beginning of each term; assistance in
choosing appropriate classes; undergraduate and graduate admissions
advisement; and help with other matters of importance to international
students. Over 100 students clubs and organizations at the College are
open to students in the English Language Program. Although students are
responsible for making their own housing arrangements, some information
about assistance in finding housing is available upon request.
