with Barnard students. All Spring in New York students

in at least four courses (12 points).

opportunities throughout New York in fields including
finance, fashion, the arts or media

tickets to Broadway shows and free admission to museums
 Who
Should Apply?
Undergraduate students who are degree candidates at other
colleges and have completed a full year of study may apply
for admission as visiting students. Candidates for Spring
in New York should have a satisfactory college record and
a letter of approval from the dean or major adviser from
the degree-granting institution. (take a leave of absence
from current school while working out the classes they will
take here on campus so they will transfer back to their
institution of origin)
