Barnard
College, a distinguished leader in higher education for women
for over 100 years, is today the most sought after private
liberal arts college for women in the nation. Founded in 1889,
the College was the first in New York City, and one of the
few in the nation at the time, where women could receive the
same rigorous liberal arts education available to men. Independent
but affiliated with Columbia University, Barnard maintains
its own administration, trustees, faculty, curriculum, endowment,
budget and campus. Barnard students may take classes at Columbia,
as Columbia students may do at Barnard. Barnard alumnae include
pioneers like anthropologist Margaret Mead and Judith Kaye,
the first female Chief Judge of the State of New York, along
with prominent cultural figures such as choreographer Twyla
Tharp, writers Zora Neale Hurston, and Mary Gordon, and Pulitzer
Prize-winning journalists Anna Quindlen and Natalie Angier.
