Barnard students build their own version of college life from joining one of 80-plus student clubs, training with a Division I team, or settling into the everyday routines that make a campus feel like home. There's real support behind all of it: Feel Well, Do Well programming and the Francine LeFrak Center take care of your well-being, CARES looks out for your safety, and Beyond Barnard is there from your first year through your career. It's a community shaped as much by students as by the college itself.
You'll live in one of Barnard's residence halls, just steps from Riverside Park and a few blocks from Columbia. Morningside Heights has the feel of a real neighborhood, coffee shops, green space, and a community, so you get the best of city living without losing that small-campus feel.
At Barnard, we have reimagined the college career center. Beyond Barnard provides lifelong support to students and graduates as they define, pursue, and achieve success in their careers and communities. From internships and career pathways to graduate school, medical school, fellowships, and more!
Barnard Global works closely with the Barnard community to enhance and broaden the College’s engagement with the world. The office provides opportunities for faculty to expand their teaching and research through global partners and perspectives, both abroad as well as through the rich global networks of New York City.
CARDS works with you on accommodations like academic, housing, dining, so you can focus on the rest of your Barnard experience.
Because of the College’s partnership with Columbia University, Barnard is the only women’s college where you can compete in NCAA Division I athletics.
