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.

"It helped my language skills, my confidence, my understanding of a new culture,I want to go back and study more and hopefully work there for an extended period of time."
Rachel R Barnard College
"My study abroad experience was worthwhile despite the disappointing program I chose. Studying abroad taught me how to find my own happiness and to not let the confining structures of a program determine the quality of your abroad experience. Although, a great program makes happiness much easier to come by. "
Kaitlin K Barnard College
"Absolutely. It sounds sentimental, but this was, without doubt, the best year of my life. I hope to live in the United Kingdom (and/or Ireland) again at some point in the future, either for work or for grad school. I feel that I have a good understanding of the United Kingdom, England in particular, and a much greater understand..."

"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
"It may sound cliched, but I know I've grown so much as a student and person from my study abroad experience. I now know I have the self-discipline, independence, and open mind that are necessary for new academic and personal experiences. I also met so many incredible people who are not only intelligent, but also friendly and fun..."

"Being evacuated from Egypt helped me to learn many things. I was able to put my planning skills to the test and learned that I'm extremely good at organizing myself on short notice. Meeting new people and seeing amazing things just speaks for the sheer power of coincidence and the impact one decision can have on so many lives."
Briana D Barnard College
"As I stated above, I had a very enriching experience. I learned way more than I expected, and I've found that I am a much more confident, independent person thanks to being in a different country, navigating a new environment, and traveling on my own. My five months in Paris confirmed a lot of things that are typically said abou..."

Celena F Barnard College
"My experience abroad not only exposed me to the political, economic, and social environment of Spain but made me more aware about what is going on in my own country. My experience was definitely culturally relative; we were always comparing America with Spain/Europe, but that did not stop us from becoming accepted as honorary ma..."
Sevan G Barnard College
"Definitely. I feel more comfortable in my own skin than I ever have before."
Rosemary B Barnard College
"I know I am an actor now and BADA made me realize I am the only one standing in my way. Being in London and BADA made me feel like I could take on the scary prospect of going out into the real world next year after college as an actor and theatre artist."
