Innovators, activists, and leaders in their fields, fearless Barnard women make their mark in the world.
Boldly Barnard
I was exploring, and a college like Barnard is so wonderful for that. There are all of these other worlds right around the corner or on the other floor of the building.
Women Leading the Way
Barnard women are pioneering campus sustainability, empowering women in STEM, and embracing a digital education.
Women rule at Barnard, a world-class academic institution where the majority of those leading the way are women.
A Fearless History
Barnard has been bold from the beginning — ever since a group of women succeeded in establishing New York City’s first college that offered women the same rigorous higher education available to men.
Boldly NYC
Barnard is one with the City — its nonstop energy, its diversity, its boundless imagination. Studying in NYC presents students with a world of opportunity.
Putting Knowledge into Action
Whatever your major at Barnard, you’ll have hands-on experiences that give you a deeper understanding of the topics you explore in the classroom. You’ll generate new ideas and communicate them in a way that can change how people understand the world.
A Bold Partnership
A small liberal arts college with the advantages of a top-notch research university. Thanks to a historic affiliation and continued partnership with Columbia, Barnard offers the best of both worlds.
The Barnard Leadership
Barnard’s ninth president and a leading feminist legal theorist, President Rosenbury is committed to catapulting Barnard into a bold future.
Rebecca L. Walkowitz, provost and dean of the faculty, as well as Claire Tow Professor of English, acts as Barnard’s chief academic officer.
Barnard’s dean of the College, Leslie Grinage, helps define and implement strategic goals and policies related to the student body.
