What is Barnard|Next?

Because learning never stops—and neither do you!

Barnard|Next offers first-in-class programs that provide lifelong learning opportunities that draw from the very best of Barnard— from faculty-led academic sessions to distinguished talks and opportunities for meaningful networking and community building. We invite you to keep growing— with purpose, with passion, and with each other.

Alumnae Auditing Program

Barnard|Next is the home of the longstanding Alumnae Auditing Program. Alumnae have in-person access to a curated list of undergraduate courses. Spend a semester in the classroom with world-class faculty and the next generation of Barnard leaders!
