Barnard College is a women's college across Broadway from Columbia's Morningside Heights campus. It is part of the prestigious Seven Sisters Colleges (the other members being Radcliffe, Smith, Wellesley, Bryn Mawr, Vassar, and Mount Holyoke). It was founded in 1889 for female undergraduate students at a time when Columbia College accepted men only (it would become co-ed in 1983).
Barnard is 'independent' institution affiliated with the University via an intercorporate agreement negotiated between the two institutions. Barnard students can take most classes at the University (most notably, they may not take Core Curriculum classes). Barnard degrees are conferred by Columbia University. [1]
Barnard has a complicated relationship with Columbia.
For many years Barnard College was headed by a Dean, but at around the time Columbia College decided to admit women, Barnard decided to elevate to status of their highest administrator to President.
History
On October 23, 1890, the Spec welcomed Barnard with this editorial:
"With this issue Barnard College makes her bow--we beg the young ladies' pardon, her courtesy [curtsy]--to our readers. It is, for the present at least, our intention to make the news of our sister school a regular--and of course a pretty--department of our paper.
In if the course of time, however, we find that our sister students, prepossessing and spirituelle though they be, are not interesting and alert, we shall indeed feel obliged to sacrifice their publicity to more pressing news!
We shall, therefore, anxiously await from our correspondent the account of something 'real naughty and shocking' to keep alive interest. We should not like to suggest a love affair with a tutor; but if such an event came to pass spontaneously in the course of time, nothing could be further from our profession of impartiality than to restrain the news of it."
Academics
Barnard students, unlike their Columbia College counterparts, do not have a Core Curriculum, but rather engage in an elaborate distribution requirement known as the Nine Ways of Knowing, which includes a tailor-made First Year Seminar and a number of electives within a given number of categories.
