Baruch is an excellent program, especially when you consider its cost. Especially since you are not changing careers, I consider this choice to be wise on many fronts. Also, I think you are going to find the program much better than you expect -- the students are smart, the facilities are impressive and the faculty is accomplished.
Good luck.

Thanks for the response! One of my main concerns also is the very local name that Baruch has. I see that I could relocate outside of the tri-state area in the near future and almost anywhere I go, even on the east coast, I am almost certain that no one would even recognize the name Baruch/Zicklin, much less have an opinion about the prestige of the program.
Does it really matter so much to have a brand name behind you in such a case?
