Participants choose two seminars and a weekly fieldwork opportunity.
The fieldwork experience provides students with the opportunity to shadow professionals in New York businesses and institutions and to participate in community service. On evenings and weekends, Barnard and Columbia undergraduate resident assistants lead off-campus excursions to cultural and recreational events. The Academic Program Many of the innovative classes that make up the Pre-College Program are adapted from the Barnard College undergraduate curriculum. Our outstanding faculty, some of whom also teach at Columbia University, bring to the classroom a wealth of scholarly and professional experiences. You will be encouraged to develop your own thoughts and ideas and to share these ideas with fellow students.
