Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies is an interdisciplinary department for students who wish to explore gender and its relation to other axes of power: race, class, ethnicity, and sexuality. We use these concepts to analyze human experience in its bodily, political, economic and cultural dimensions. Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies covers a complex variety of theoretical and empirical scholarship both within traditional disciplines and in interdisciplinary frames in the humanities, in the social sciences and in the natural sciences as well as combinations of the three. The Department is committed to critical perspectives and bodies of knowledge that contribute to possibilities for transformation and change.
The Barnard Archives and Special Collections serves as the final repository for the permanent historical records of Barnard College from its founding in 1889 to the present day. Its primary purpose is to document the history of the College and to provide source material to administrators, alumnae, students, faculty, and other members of the Barnard College community, as well as to scholars, authors, and outside researchers. The Archives is an educational resource that encourages scholarly research in its collections.
A unique pedagogical approach initiated at Barnard College, Reacting to the Past (RTTP) consists of elaborate games, set in the past, in which students are assigned roles informed by classic texts in the history of ideas. Class sessions are run entirely by students; instructors advise and guide students and grade their oral and written work. It seeks to draw students into the past, promote engagement with big ideas, and improve intellectual and academic skills.
Senior Experience, or S|X, caters to the needs of the over five hundred members of the graduating class of 2012.

The Barnard and Columbia undergraduate theatre department engages the disciplines of drama, theatre, and performance studies as a distinctive mode of intellectual and artistic inquiry. Majors take foundational coursework in the literary, cultural, and embodied traditions of western and nonwestern performance as well as in the practices of acting, directing, design, and playwriting. All majors then specialize in a specific area and undertake advanced thesis work, leading either to a formal essay of original research, or to an artistic project (in acting, design, directing, dramaturgy, playwriting, or solo performance) that combines the practices of research and artistic creation. While Barnard and Columbia students fulfill the overall graduation requirements of their respective institutions, major requirements for the Barnard Major in Theatre/Columbia Major in Drama and Theatre Arts are identical, and the majority of required coursework is offered through the Barnard College Department of Theatre. Barnard and Columbia students receive their degrees from their respective colleges of Columbia University. The Department's season of productions in the Minor Latham Playhouse and the Glicker-Milstein Black Box Theatre is a crucible of investigation: the place where professional directors and designers collaborate with undergraduates, using a wide range of classic and contemporary plays and performance practices to shape insights unique to theatrical inquiry today. Whether it's Shakespeare or Soyinka or Caryl Churchill, or the directing, solo performance, and playwriting theses in the Senior Thesis Festival, Department of Theatre productions are both a learning process and a scene of encounter, where perceptions are shaped for the attention and creative response of a larger public.
Leave Your Mark! As seniors, we have a unique opportunity to "give forward" to Barnard, by donating to the Senior Fund. With your help, enthusiasm and donations, we hope to give Barnard a wonderful gift that will provide support to students following in our footsteps. Last year, the Senior Fund raised $8,801 and reached 51% participation. Please help us continue this tradition of giving back to Barnard.
History encompasses the whole of human experience, helping us understand ourselves in the context of our times and traditions through the study of times and traditions other than our own. History means not only the record of the past but also the discipline of investigating and interpreting the past. The study of history develops habits of critical thinking and effective writing, as well as it cultivates the careful analysis of various types of quantitative and qualitative evidence. It should be of value not only to undergraduates who intend to pursue advanced degrees in the field, but also to students interested in exploring the diversity and complexity of the human past, even as they hone their analytical and expository skills.
Student Life enhances the educational mission of Barnard College by engaging students outside of the classroom. Our intention is to foster an active community and support students through holistic learning, identity exploration, and leadership development in a dynamic environment. Here at Barnard Student Life, we: *Sponsor campus wide programs, events, and activities which build community at Barnard. *Provide student's leadership and personal development opportunities and experiences. *Advise Clubs *Offer advocacy and constituent based support services. *Encourage and provide accessible means for Barnard students to experience New York City.
The Department of Music at Columbia is one of the oldest and most distinguished at any American university. It was founded in 1896 by Edward MacDowell (1860-1908). Although MacDowell remained at Columbia for only eight years, his remarkable vision for the place of music in a liberal arts institution still influences us today, as we pursue a 21st century vision for music scholarship, performance, and education. MacDowell saw a dual role for musical education at Columbia, and accordingly he divided the earliest courses into two groups: general musical culture and technical training. The legacy of the former group includes Music Humanities, part of Columbia’s Core Curriculum since the 1940’s (and still going strong), as well as the many courses in Western and non-Western repertories offered today for students from all disciplines. Entering its next century, the Music Department maintains and has even expanded its disciplinary depth and diversity. In a recent survey of graduate programs in music in the U.S., Columbia’s was one of only a dozen rated “distinguished.” Graduate applications have more than doubled in six years. Our faculty and students continue to win the most coveted fellowships and awards, from such agencies or organizations as the Guggenheim Foundation, Fulbright, the NEA, the NSF, the Social Science Research Council, the NEH, ASCAP, and the American Academy in Rome, among many others. The number of undergraduates majoring in music at Columbia has grown sharply over the past decade. Music Humanities continues to attract nearly 700 students every semester. The University Orchestra has toured to great acclaim. Each year the Department’s Music Performance Program enables hundreds of students to receive academic credit for lessons and chamber ensembles, including jazz; their teachers are among the best musicians in New York. Columbia has also broadened musical opportunities for its students through an innovative exchange program with the Juilliard School; qualified students at either institution can enroll for courses or lessons for credit at the other. These are just some of the ways in which Music at Columbia thrives today.

AABC Mission: The purpose of the Alumnae Association shall be to further the interests of Barnard College and to promote a spirit of fellowship among its alumnae.

Dual BA Program students begin their studies in France at one of three Sciences Po campuses, each of which is devoted to a particular region of the world: Le Havre (Asia), Menton (Mediterranean countries and the Middle East), or Reims (North America). After completing Sciences Po’s interdisciplinary social sciences curriculum, Dual BA students spend their final two years of college in New York City at Columbia University School of General Studies (GS), fulfilling the requirements for a major as well as Core distribution requirements in a variety of disciplines. Dual BA Program graduates earn two bachelor’s degrees, one each from Sciences Po and Columbia, and, like all Sciences Po alumni, you’ll be eligible for guaranteed admission to a graduate program at the flagship Sciences Po campus in Paris.
