History

In 1919, the City College School of Business and Civic Administration was established and would later become Baruch College. In 1951, the Department of Political Science in the school offered its first course in Masters in Public Administration. In 1968, Baruch College was created through a split from the City College School of Business. In 1980, the Masters of Public Administration (MPA) program was accredited by Network of Schools of Public Policy, Affairs, and Administration, the first accredited program in New York City. In 1984, the college started offering Executive MPA courses, the first in New York City and the second in the United States. The Austin W. Marxe School of Public and International Affairs was established in 1994 with Ronald M. Berkman as the founding dean. He worked there from 1994 to 1997. [1] The School of Public and International Affairs was later named after Austin W. Marxe who donated $30 million to the college in 2016. Austin W.
