It costs $7,000 per year to go to Baruch versus about $50,000 per year to go to Fordham. I am not that familiar with Fordham's business school. Baruch has a good reputation in certain business areas. I am sure there are some people who would prefer Baruch over Fordham while others might prefer Fordham over Baruch. If I were choosing, I would go with Baruch due to the cost differential.

I see more fellow Fordham Alums in company bios for C-Suite than I do Baruch. Both are very much you get out what you put in. If social life is a factor at all I would say Fordham. What some people seem to be missing is the Jesuit schooling is its own network. You can leverage being at Fordham with anyone who went to Holy Cross, BC, Georgetown, Scranton, Xavier, Creighton, Fairfield, etc. It's a mixed bag of good schools and mediocre, but I guarantee that everyone who graduates and is in a hiring position takes pride in a "Jesuit Education".

Kids from Fordham(generally) are also better at soft skills.

 

I did not mention the Jesuit aspect of Fordham because the OP did not mention this issue. I know people who went to Fordham due to Jesuit nature of the school. What do you mean by "soft skills?"
