Forty-one New York universities hold AACSB-accredited business schools, fifteen public and twenty-six private, and this page lists the SAT and ACT scores of the students they admit, what each costs a New Yorker at home, where he is the resident, and what the two public business schools he reads first ask once he is in.

Thirty-eight report an SAT range and thirty-five an ACT range, so the table leads with the SAT.

Baruch’s Zicklin admits from pre-business at 45 units on a 2.3 and a 2.3 under a 2.25 rule, Binghamton’s School of Management calls internal transfer extremely competitive with recent admits near a 3.7, and New York’s CPA law opens a 120-hour, two-year route on November 21, 2026.

New York Business Colleges by SAT and ACT Score

New York’s forty-one AACSB-accredited business schools run from the Cornell SC Johnson College of Business in Ithaca and the Stern School at New York University, with Math ranges of 770 to 800 and 760 to 800, to three campuses that report no range, and the table below lists each with its SAT and ACT ranges where reported, cost of attendance, enrollment and admit rate, with the cost of attendance at every public row the New Yorker’s own, because on this page he is the resident. Fifteen are public and twenty-six private, thirty-eight report an SAT range, and the rows are sorted by the midpoint of the SAT Math range, with ties broken on the ACT composite midpoint and then on enrollment and the three non-reporters following in order of enrollment, so the order can be checked from the table itself.

Forty-one rows say who got into the university and what a New Yorker pays. The next section is about the two public business schools on the page he reads first, and the two numbers they ask.

What Do Zicklin and Binghamton's School of Management Ask of Their Own Students?

A New Yorker who enters Baruch College or Binghamton University without a seat in the business school applies for one from inside, at Baruch by meeting three printed criteria, 45 completed units, a 2.3 Baruch GPA and a 2.3 in the pre-business courses under a rule that settles at 2.25, and at Binghamton through an intra-university transfer the university calls extremely competitive, with no cutoff, A or B in four prerequisites, and recent admits near a 3.7 and 57 credits.

Zicklin prints three criteria. A pre-business Baruch student is cleared to enroll in Zicklin courses on his scheduled enrollment date when his record shows 45 completed units, a current Baruch GPA of 2.3 or higher, and a 2.3 or higher in the pre-business courses he has completed, with transferred grades counting and international grades not, and with every applicable pre-business course on his Baruch transcript. A student who entered or re-entered Baruch in fall 2021 or later under the early entry requirements needs 30 units rather than 45. Once all pre-business courses are complete, “the 2.25 rule for admission to Zicklin will apply to both the pre-business courses GPA and overall Baruch GPA.” “Students will only be granted permission when their record shows that they have an intended BBA plan (major).” A student with an INC or PEN grade is not evaluated until it is resolved, and a student finishing a pre-business course on permit is cleared after the grade posts [VERIFY every item on the Zicklin pre-business page].

Binghamton prints no cutoff and says so. A current Binghamton student applies to the School of Management through intra-university transfer by November 15 for spring or March 15 for fall, after attending an information session, with microeconomics, macroeconomics, calculus and statistics ideally complete by the end of the semester he applies, and “Grades of A or B are necessary in each.” The page writes that “Internal transfer is extremely competitive to the programs in SOM,” that there is “no GPA or credit cutoff for admission or denial,” that a student with only one semester at Binghamton at the time of application needs at least a 3.5, and that recently admitted students typically had a 3.7 average and at least 57 credits, in the university’s own word for it. A late application is read only if space remains, decisions follow the current semester’s grades, and an admitted student who declines tells admissions within five days [VERIFY every item on the SOM IUT page].

The other thirty-nine schools on the page were not read for a gate, Stern’s rule for a current NYU student and Dyson’s for a current Cornell student among them. As far as this page knows, each admits a business major on the university application, and a family should read each catalog for any rule that follows [VERIFY all thirty-nine].

Set against the earlier pages, New York’s two public doors are the widest pair in one state the grid has printed. On our page on business colleges in Nevada, the two campuses of one system ask a 2.0 and a 2.75. On our page on business colleges in Minnesota, Carlson asks a 3.0 and reports an average above 3.50. Zicklin’s 2.25 is the lowest running line in the grid beside Ole Miss’s, and SOM’s 3.7 is the highest admitted average the grid has printed for a student transferring from inside, and a New Yorker can reach either on a MetroCard or a Route 17 bus.

Door	Who	What the school asks	What the school says
Zicklin, Baruch College	A pre-business Baruch student	45 completed units (30 under early entry for fall 2021 and later entrants), a current Baruch GPA of 2.3 or higher, a 2.3 or higher in completed pre-business courses, every pre-business course on the Baruch transcript, an intended BBA major on record	“The 2.25 rule for admission to Zicklin will apply to both the pre-business courses GPA and overall Baruch GPA.” Permission on the scheduled enrollment date when all three are met.
School of Management, Binghamton	A current Binghamton student in another school	Microeconomics, macroeconomics, calculus and statistics with “Grades of A or B are necessary in each,” an information session, an application by November 15 for spring or March 15 for fall, at least a 3.5 for a one-semester applicant

The image above shows the two public doors and the number at each

Is a 3.5 Enough to Transfer Into Binghamton's School of Management?

No, a 3.5 is not enough on its own to transfer into Binghamton University’s School of Management, because the university names a 3.5 as a minimum only for a student with one semester on campus when he applies, publishes no GPA or credit cutoff for admission or denial, and writes that internal transfer is extremely competitive and that recently admitted students typically held a 3.7 with at least 57 credits, so a 3.5 is read against a pool two tenths above it.

The A or B in microeconomics, macroeconomics, calculus and statistics is the line a student can see and hold, and the deadlines are November 15 and March 15 with late applications read only on space. Across the state system the same New Yorker enters Zicklin on a 2.3 and a 2.3 at 45 units, so the choice between the two public business schools is a choice between a rule that clears him and a review that reads him.

Two public doors, a 2.25 and a 3.7. Which schools hold the accreditation is the next section.

Business itself is not a licensed profession, and the one business degree that leads to a license, accounting, leads to it through the state board rather than through the school. A CPA in New York normally licenses on 150 hours and one year of experience, and from November 21, 2026 on 120 hours in an accountancy program and two years, with the Office of the Professions’ rule on the coursework still to be read [VERIFY]. AACSB status matters on the way there because business schools use it to decide whose courses they will accept in transfer.

Seven CUNY senior colleges are left off because they hold no AACSB-accredited business school, and a New Yorker will look for them first. Hunter College (550 to 720 on Math, 54% admitted, $7,382 for a New Yorker, 16,289 undergraduates), City College (530 to 730, 60%, $7,340), Queens College (510 to 640, 64%, $7,538), Lehman College (410 to 560, $7,410, with a School of Business that opened in 2022 and lists no AACSB accreditation), New York City College of Technology, York College and Medgar Evers College award business degrees without it [VERIFY each]. Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs (660 to 730 on Math, 21% admitted, $67,290) offers a management and business major without an AACSB-accredited school, and Union, Bard, Hamilton, Colgate and Vassar have no business major or no AACSB school [VERIFY each]. West Point awards no business degree. SUNY Cortland, Oneonta (550 to 650, $8,831), Buffalo State (490 to 610, $8,533), Potsdam, Cobleskill, Canton, Maritime and Poly (520 to 690, $8,625) award business degrees under other accreditors or none [VERIFY each, Poly in particular], and Empire State and Excelsior are online. Wagner College on Staten Island (590 to 630, $53,200), St. Joseph’s University in Brooklyn ($36,550), Mercy University (85% admitted, $22,880), Touro, Molloy, Utica, Nazareth, Daemen, Manhattanville, Marymount Manhattan, Dominican, St. Francis, Mount Saint Vincent, D’Youville, Roberts Wesleyan, Russell Sage, LIM, Berkeley, Hilbert, Keuka, Hartwick, St. Thomas Aquinas, Mount Saint Mary, Hobart and William Smith and St. Lawrence award business degrees without an AACSB-accredited business school [VERIFY each]. None of them is a row.

Nothing on this page ranks the forty-one. They are fifteen public universities and twenty-six private with the same accreditor, two public doors at a 2.25 and a 3.7, a resident’s price with Excelsior behind it, and the pages for business colleges in New Jersey, business colleges in Pennsylvania, business colleges in Connecticut, business colleges in Massachusetts and business colleges in Vermont carry the schools a New Yorker is likely comparing with home.

What If Your Scores Are Below the Range You Want?

In New York Cornell’s floors are 770 on Math and 33 on the ACT, NYU’s 760 and 34, Rochester’s 730 and 31, RPI’s 705 and 30, Stony Brook’s 680 and 29, Yeshiva’s and Binghamton’s 670, Fordham’s 660 and 30, RIT’s 650, Syracuse’s 630, Buffalo’s 610 and 27, Baruch’s 550, Brooklyn’s 490, Staten Island’s 430, and three rows publish none. A student under the floor he wants is not ruled out, because a quarter of admitted students were there too. He is in the quarter that needs the rest of the application to carry more.

The first step is finding out where the score actually is, section by section. A free diagnostic SAT gives a Math score that can be set directly against Baruch’s 550 floor, Binghamton’s 670 and Stony Brook’s 680, and a total that can be set against the 1300 that clears every CUNY and SUNY comprehensive range on the page.

The Math section rewards the same handful of topics on every test date, and a student who knows which of them he is missing can close a gap of 50 to 100 points in weeks rather than months. The method is on our page on improving your SAT Math score, and in New York the same algebra is the calculus and statistics Binghamton’s School of Management asks at an A or B and the pre-business courses Zicklin asks at a 2.3.

How to Read These Score Ranges

Each range in the table covers the middle 50% of admitted students who submitted that test, so a quarter of admitted students were below the lower number and a quarter were at or above the upper one.

A range describes the students who chose to submit at all. Where a school is test-optional, the range describes the submitters, and the submitters are the students whose scores helped them. A row marked not reported means the Scorecard has no range for that university, and a student should read the university’s own admissions page for the score it expects. More on what SAT score you need for college and on test-optional colleges.

Should You Take the ACT Instead?

New York requires no statewide college admission test, and the Regents examinations are not one, so a New Yorker chooses his test, and thirty-eight of the forty-one rows report the SAT while thirty-five report the ACT.

A New York student who holds an SAT should send it everywhere in the state and leave the ACT alone unless a school elsewhere asks for it. The three CUNY rows report no ACT range at all, SUNY and CUNY test policies should be read for the entering year [VERIFY both systems’ current test-optional status], and three rows report no range, so a student should read those pages before deciding whether a score helps there.
