Program Overview

Our Pre-Baccalaureate offerings will give students the opportunity to participate in undergraduate-level courses on Barnard and Columbia's campuses. Professors lecture in person but may choose to upload class recordings simultaneously.

All Pre-Baccalaureate students will be matched with a Peer Academic Leader to foster collaboration and community engagement among enrolled students. Peer Academic Leaders are meant to ease the transition to a college environment for our students. Weekly workshops will be held by our Student Success Coordinator to discuss college readiness tips and tactics for completing your course of study successfully, topics to include but are not limited to time management, studying skills, self-advocacy, financial literacy, etc.

Upon successful completion of your course, you will receive a letter grade and an official transcript from Barnard College, Columbia University.
