Barnard College Pre-College Office

The Office of Pre-College Programs upholds Barnard’s mission to provide the highest quality liberal arts education to promising and high-achieving young women from around the globe. Our programs are exploratory in nature and allow our students to challenge themselves while pursuing their passions among other high achieving young women in a safe and supportive environment.

Our dedicated team of world-renowned faculty as well as professional and student staff are committed to preparing high school women for the transition to a post-secondary setting. Our programs are designed to mimic the undergraduate experience at Barnard; with New York City and its many cultural resources serving as an extension of the classroom. 

Our girls leave braver, bolder, and reassured about their purpose in an increasingly interconnected world.
