No it isn’t, but you can trick people by saying you went to Columbia and then they make assumptions. It’s a step up from Harvard extension school, which also isn’t Ivy.

Well no, the diploma won't mention Bernard, whoever that is, but it will say Barnard College of Columbia University and they will have their commencement at Radio City Music Hall. The Columbia College and SEAS students degrees will say Columbia College of Columbia University etc and they will graduate on the Columbia quad looking up at the Alma and Low Library.

GS is also not ivy.

Barnard alumna here -
The answer is no.

The finances are completely separate between the two. The graduation requirements are completely different too.
The schools have access to each others classes and earning credits towards graduation just like they have access to, say, the school of engineering, or school of the arts. But a matriculated Barnard student will graduate with a document that says Barnard College of Columbia University.

Barnard's campus isn't bleak at all, in my opinion. However, at four acres, it is quite small.

Barnard’s campus is lovely, in fact it is what made my DD prefer Barnard. It’s always been closed in, unlike Columbia which was open before the protests. Nice green space. Brand new gym. A couple of food options. Nice library. Of course the students use Columbia’s campus too, but Barnard’s campus feels like a quiet respite imo.

At Barnard you get the benefit of a small liberal arts college with its own small campus within Columbia University. You can take classes at Barnard, Columbia College, and some of the Columbia University grad schools. You can study in any of the many beautiful libraries on the CU campus. Depending on your housing lottery # after first year you can live in a BC or CC dorm. The schools share the same sports teams, etc.

The Barnard campus? There isn’t much of one, buildings have been built on some of what was once open. But they hang out on Columbia’s quad anyway

There’s definitely a Barnard campus

No, only Columbia College or Columbia SEAS students. Grad schools and Employers who care about that know who is who. Students at Barnard or GS students (many of whom are military vets by the way) get the benefit of access to Columbia classes and resources which lots of additional employers/grad schools highly value.
