Internships & Student Jobs
You get more than a paycheck from a student job or internship — especially in New York City. That’s why Beyond Barnard thinks of these as educational experiences and helps you find the best fit. Advisors also prepare you to conduct your search, connect you to opportunities, and make the most of an internship.
Job options are on- and off-campus. Barnard Bartending and Barnard Babysitting are the College’s own agencies that for decades have connected students with off-campus gigs.
