Barnard College
University Information
Barnard has a rich history and tradition of study abroad dating back to the 1930s. Today, students study abroad in more than 35 countries, from Australia to Tibet. This site details the opportunities available, online resources, and procedures to apply. Please review the information on the website before meeting with the Dean for Study Abroad.
One of the best ways to learn more about what study abroad can offer you academically and personally is from other Barnard students who have studied abroad or who are currently abroad. We invite you to link to reach out to Barnard students who have studied abroad to ask questions about their experience and research which program is right for you.

A student Barnard College
"Honestly, the program was not so good for me academically. I really value the level of ethic and work that comes from Barnard and that was lacking here. However, the social aspect of it all was an amazing experience and I learned so much about what I think of the world and about myself. Meeting up with Barnard girls in London in..."
Rachel H Barnard College

Heidi K Barnard College
"More insight into myself, how to be alone, how to make friends, how to have confidence."
Mira J Barnard College
"yes, it was worthwhile because any experience is worthwhile. i was able to live in another country for a semester and travel around all of europe, that alone is worthwhile. i was able to observe what culture is, what real food is, and appreciate how history has shaped each of the locations that i visited. "

Although, a great program makes happiness much easier to come by. "

Hannah M Barnard College
"A new perspective of my home institution (Barnard). Absolutely worthwhile."
Elissa M Barnard College
"I grew up so much because I was put in the most independent situation of my life. I learned more responsibility and also learned to try so many new things and enter into new experiences. Granted, there were problems with my academic experience and the system was hard to figure out, but every single other part of my time in Londo..."
