You usually have a choice of a Barnard class or a Columbia class, just as the Columbia students do, and you choose the class that best meets your schedule.

There are many, many science majors at Barnard. Half the female doctors were once educated at Barnard and over the years Barnard has turned out the most Chem PhD’s. Most women say Barnard courses are more rigorous.

I don’t think you have to worry about being a science major at Barnard; in fact, I would question the statement that “most” are humanities majors. Psyche, bio, and econ are big majors, just as they are everywhere.

Churchmusicmom knows more than I do because her D is a very satisfied senior neuroscience major.
