What is TfCS?

The Tools for Clear Speech (TfCS) program maximizes the success of Baruch’s multilingual learners of English by improving communication skills, speaking confidence, and career readiness.

Unique to Baruch College, TfCS helps to increase student engagement, academic momentum, degree completion, and post-graduation success. Additionally, TfCS enriches the diversity of the College by fostering intercultural communication, inclusion, and global awareness among its multilingual and multicultural community.
