How Participation Works

 

Barnard|Next programs run across the academic year. Offerings are organized by term, with registration windows for spring, summer, and fall. Some are single evening events, some are short series, and some span a full semester.

Most Barnard|Next offerings are open to Barnard alumnae and to a broader public audience, with eligibility and fees listed on each program page.

 

  • Registration for current and upcoming programs is listed on the Barnard|Next registration page.

  • Alumnae Auditing has its own application timeline and review process, outlined on the Alumnae Auditing page.

  • Questions about which program is the right fit can be sent to barnardnext@barnard.edu.
