I'm also enrolled in Baruch to take a few language classes at night - interesting to find a HN commenter as well since it's CS dept seems more IT focused.
Unfortunately it's not even a "Computer Science" department, they call it "Computer Information Systems". I never even took a CIS class, I'm technically a finance major. Pretty much taught myself how to program by playing with R/C++ and doing the JH Data Science Coursera degree. Also read Paul Graham's book recently.
