    New Student & Family Programs

    New Student and Family Programs logoWelcome New Students!

    The Office of New Student & Family Programs (NSFP) exists to help new students experience a seamless transition to Baruch College. NSFP provides first-year and transfer students with an opportunity to develop the tools necessary to acclimate and succeed in college. As such, the First-Year Seminar and Transfer Student Network are especially designed to expose new students to study skills, time management, community engagement, leadership, and access to on- and off-campus resources.

    The First Year Seminar is a mandatory course for all incoming first-year students. The class meets once a week for 75 minutes and for the first 10 weeks of the semester. The seminar is specifically designed to:

    • Establish a meaningful relationship between the instructor, peer mentor, and students
    • Help to create a roadmap to meet students’ academic, personal, and professional goals
    • Provide clear expectations for academic achievement and acceptable behavior in college
    • Create a safe space in which students can share their concerns
    • Engage and connect students with the Baruch community and its full array of resources

    A peer mentor is selected and trained to co-lead a section of the seminar alongside an instructor; the peer mentor serves as a role model to students taking the course.

    The Transfer Student Network allows transfer students to further get involved on campus by giving them a network of students to connect with. Transfer students in the program are paired with a student mentor to expose them to the different resources on campus, as well as opportunities for campus involvement.

    In addition, NSFP believes that the success of students is best accomplished when there is an intentional family/parent/college partnership. To that end, the office provides parents and families of students at Baruch with information and resources pertinent to the engagement and success of their students. Further, the office serves to help transition transfer students to the campus, not only through the Transfer Seminar, but by providing transfer students with connections to other transfer students and peer mentors.
