I applied ED and my fin aid package is fairly good. It’s at about 48k with total tuition at 56k. This doesn’t include scholarships which can also be applicable to the parent and student contribution. It’s not as great as an Ivy, but that’s understandable given their endowments of 500 mil + with many in the billions range.
A lot of women don’t have problems finding jobs after graduating. There is even a whole office dedicating to doing such. I know my interviewer worked in the Mayor’s office and is happy with her job. Barnard gives the opportunity and greatly encourages students to find internships during the course of their 4 years, which ultimately makes the job search a whole lot easier.
Despite the name, you are still earning an Ivy League education so of course employers are going to be impressed.


Make sure that you like Barnard in it’s own right and not just for the Columbia association. Sure you can take a good number of courses over there depending on your major, but Barnard is special in it’s own right and I would argue offers some things better than what Columbia offers.
