Barnard College
Barnard College is a distinguished leader in higher education, offering a rigorous liberal arts foundation to young women. It was founded in 1889 in response to Columbia University's then-refusal to admit women onto academic programs. Today, the school partners with Columbia so that students from both institutions may take classes and participate in extracurricular activities at the other.
