The Center is featured frequently in popular magazines and newspapers such as Fortune Magazine, BusinessWeek, New York Times, Crain's New York Business, Traders Magazine, New York Post, Securities Industry News, and Associated Press
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 we focus exclusively on teaching our children to read, write, spell, and count in their first years of life, we turn our homes into extensions of school and turn bringing up a child into an exercise in curriculum development. We should be parents first and teachers of academic skills second.”
—Neil Kurshan (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)
