Although Baruch College is more commonly known for its critically-acclaimed accounting program and intensive business coursework (as offered by the Zicklin School of Business), the school has continued to break the misconception of solely teaching debits and credits by offering opportunities for interaction with other disciplines, such as the arts.

American Horror Story, the popular thriller anthology series, has returned for its eighth season, and it’s already being heralded as one of the best in the series’ history.
