Post-Baccalaureate Fellowships

In 2018, Beyond Barnard launched the College's Post-Baccalaureate Fellowship Program, supporting the research and work of recent alumnae.The Post-Baccalaureate Fellowship is a one- to two-year program that fosters the development of career skills, ongoing technical and workplace learning, and an opportunity to apply subject matter expertise to new technologies, digital scholarship, creative writing, and other platforms. 

Post-Baccalaureate Fellows collaborate directly with faculty directors of interdisciplinary centers, programs, and institutes across campus. Beyond Barnard facilitates regular supportive programs to foster community and help build skills that prepare the participants for careers and graduate programs.

Post-Baccaluareate Fellows are currently working at:

• Design Center
• Athena Center
• Movement Lab
• Center for Engaged Pedagogy
• Digital Humanities Center
• Sloate Media Center
• Barnard Center for Research on Women
• Empirical Reasoning Center
• The Vagelos Computational Science Center
• The Writing and Speaking Fellows
• The Office of Institutional Research and Assessment
• Department of English, Creative Writing Program

Beyond Barnard's programming for the Post-Baccalaureate Fellows includes lunchtime sessions covering a range of topics (program planning, research, application to graduate school, and faculty talks, for example). And all Fellows have access to regular one-on-one advising to discuss their graduate and professional interests and plan their next steps.

The goal of the Post-Baccalaureate Fellowship Program is to provide post-graduate academic and professional training that prepares participants for meaningful work and continued research in a career field and/or graduate program that aligns with their interests. Applications for participation in the program open each Spring. Post-Baccalaureate Fellows typically begin their program by the end of the summer.
