Barnard College

Barnard College is a prestigious liberal arts college for women located in New York City. Founded in 1889, it was established in response to Columbia University's refusal to admit women. Named after Frederick Augustus Porter Barnard, a former president of Columbia, the college is part of the Seven Sisters schools, a group of historically women's colleges in the Northeastern United States. The college offers a comprehensive liberal arts education with majors in various fields, including arts, humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences. Students can also explore unique subjects like Dance, Architecture, and Theatre. Barnard provides research opportunities, athletic programs through the Barnard-Columbia Athletic Consortium, and a variety of extracurricular activities to support personal and academic growth. Its affiliation with Columbia University enhances access to additional resources and opportunities for students.
