Barnard's Summer in New York is a coed program for high school students who are intellectually prepared for college-level work and will have completed the 10th or 11th grade. We offer three different programs: In our four-week program, participants choose two courses from a variety of topics, while one-week mini-course participants focus on a single subject. Young Women's Leadership Institute students (female only) attend workshops and explore the complex relationship between gender and leadership. Evenings and weekends are packed with organized trips to tourist sights like the Statue of Liberty and Rockefeller Center. You may also catch a film at an outdoor festival, hang out in Central Park, or escape to Jones Beach for a day filled with surf and sun. In short, you'll get an unforgettable taste of your future while experiencing life in the big city. Courses Pre-College Program courses are adapted from the Barnard College undergraduate curriculum. Four-week program students can choose two courses from topics as varied as architecture and films studies, while one-week program participants focus on a single subject: writing, literature, psychology, urban studies, music or theatre.
