What is deal with Barnard/Columbia degree?

<p>Thanks for the correction, Calmom. I guess I misremembered the diploma I saw (my mind must have just passed over the Latin and gotten “Barnard College, Columbia University” from it.)</p>

<p>To go beyond that question (again, my favorite topic of discussion), there’s certainly a strong connection between BC and CU, but they’re not interchangeable. Barnard College doesn’t fade away as the year progresses to be replaced by a general Columbia-shaped aura of education. I have heard of Barnard students transferring to Columbia College, but that’s not generally a welcomed thought from Barnard girls. A majority of us enrolled for the specific benefits that Barnard had to offer. You can see the other Barnard-identity musings in my previous post. :)</p>

<p>I wish your daughter the best of luck!</p>
