The Curriculum

Listing of courses in this catalogue is not a guarantee of their availability, and the College may revise its degree requirements from time to time.

Reading the Course Listings

Autumn term courses are followed by an x; spring term courses are followed by a y.

Indivisible Barnard courses that run throughout the year are marked with a dash between the numerals (e.g., SPAN V1101–V1102). The first semester of elementary language, whether taken at Barnard or elsewhere, normally does not receive degree credit unless the second semester is completed. However, a single exception to this rule is allowed upon written request to the Registrar.

Certain courses are offered in both Autumn and Spring terms and may be taken in either term.
