Founded in 1919, Baruch College (City University of New York) is the first institution of free public higher education in the United States.
US News and World Report:
The Zicklin School of Business is the largest business school in the US. It ranked in the top 50 nationally, with the undergraduate business program ranking among the top 30 of public institutions.
Baruch also ranked 1st for ethnic diversity among US institutions of higher learning, "America's Best Colleges: 2005"
Not too shabby for a public college.
