Baruch's own trading floor is often quoted in magazines as a competitive edge over NYC leading business schools: Columbia University and Stern NYU. One of the issues that Financial Times stated: "Students are turning down colleges that do not have trading floors. The text books are out there. Whether you are at New York University or Columbia the theory is all the same. What do you need? You need the edge to put this theory into practice."

Famous quotes containing the words academic and/or centers:
“If twins are believed to be less intelligent as a class than single-born children, it is not surprising that many times they are also seen as ripe for social and academic problems in school. No one knows the extent to which these kind of attitudes affect the behavior of multiples in school, and virtually nothing is known from a research point of view about social behavior of twins over the age of six or seven, because this hasn’t been studied either.”
—Pamela Patrick Novotny (20th century)
“[Madness] is the jail we could all end up in. And we know it. And watch our step. For a lifetime. We behave. A fantastic and entire system of social control, by the threat of example as effective over the general population as detention centers in dictatorships, the image of the madhouse floats through every mind for the course of its lifetime.”
—Kate Millett (b. 1934)
