The Nine Ways of Knowing is Barnard's loose version of the Columbia College Core Curriculum. Because it lacks tailor-made courses (other than the First Year Seminar), however, and can be fulfilled with specialized rather than general education courses, it's more like a distribution requirement than a true Core. Appropriately, it consists of nine areas of thought, requiring completion of one or two listed courses in each:
- Reason and Value - 1 course
- Social Analysis - 1 course
- Historical Studies - 1 course
- Cultures in Comparison - 1 course
- Laboratory Science - 2 courses in one science
- Quantitative and Deductive Reasoning - 1 course
- Language - study through at least the fourth semester
- Literature - 1 course
- The Visual and Performing Arts - 1 course
Barnard women also have to take a First Year Seminar, a semester of First Year English, and 1 semester of PE.
