'The College was named after Frederick A.P. Barnard, then the tenth president of Columbia College, who argued unsuccessfully for the admission of women to Columbia University. One of the original Seven Sisters, Barnard was, from the beginning, a place that took women seriously and challenged them intellectually. Now, with a more than 110-year tradition as an independent college for women affiliated with Columbia University, Barnard continues to challenge the way its students think about themselves, their world, and their roles in changing it.

Barnard is located just across Broadway from Columbia's main campus and is one of four undergraduate schools within the Columbia University system (the others are Columbia College, the Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science, and the School of General Studies).

Barnard is an undergraduate college formally affiliated with the University. Students at each institution can take courses at the other. Barnard students receive the diploma of the University signed by the presidents of both institutions, and the College is represented in the University Senate. At the same time, Barnard is legally separate and financially independent from the University; sets its own student fees; has a separate endowment, administration and faculty, and admissions office; and undertakes its own fund-raising.
