The Office of Pre-College Programs at Barnard College is pleased to invite juniors to participate in their Summer Pre-College Programs. With five distinct programs to choose from, ranging from entrepreneurship to dance, students have the unique opportunity to explore an area of interest on a deeper level through both in-class discussions and city exploration. As part of the learning experience at Barnard, students will get a taste of both college life and meet students from across the country and around the world.
Our summer programs are open to rising high school junior and senior girls.
SUMMER IN THE CITY
Students take two courses of their choice over the span of four weeks. As part of the program, students both participate in admissions and career workshops and explore New York through class trips and excursions.
LIBERAL ARTS INTENSIVE
For one week, students take one course of their choice in the morning. Afternoons are free for students to explore what the city has to offer!
YOUNG WOMEN'S LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE
Students delve into gender issues, social change, and leadership in this intensive one week program. Comprised of morning lectures and afternoon workshops, students develop a deeper understanding of leadership through a feminist lens.
DANCE IN THE CITY
In this rigorous ten day program, students explore dance from all angles. From dance theory and history classes to technique classes at the Alvin Ailey Extension School, students have the opportunity to delve into the dance world from every perspective. As part of the program, students have the opportunity to observe performances of some of the world's best and perform their own work.
