Baruch MSA Difficulty?

LevelX · **Posted:** Mon Jan 16, 2012 5:15 pm

I am hearing varying opinions on the difficulty and competition within the msa program at baruch. Some say it is not very challenging and others say you have to study almost all the time just to get in the B range. Is there anyone in the program/graduated from the program that could shed some light on this? Thanks

I used to work with tons of people with Baruch accounting degrees (before bschool) at a Big 4 firm. They used to tell me that accounting itself isn't too hard but because Baruch is a public program (as a result, underfunded), they squeeze 100+ people into small lecture rooms and attempt to educate students. As a result, the quality of "teaching" suffered and basically, students had to read the textbook and teach accounting themselves (rather than learning in the classroom). That was their #1 complaint. #2 complaint was something about professors reading off Powerpoint slides.
