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.

Adria G Barnard College
"Studying abroad changed my life and my personal outlook. I came out of it feeling empowered, motivated, relaxed, and full of love.

It was steeped in history in a way that I found endlessly fascinating. This is a love I'll take with me for the rest of my life. After studying abroad in the UK for one semester, I'm..."

"While I do not regret my experience in Buenos Aires, I am sad that my program was not more supportive (and thus I cannot recommend it very highly compared to another program).
