Barnard Music

Barnard-Columbia Chorus Fall Concert, 2019

Academic Year 2020-21

We are excited to introduce our department’s new curriculum for the Academic Year 2020-21. Students should note that this curriculum includes courses offered over three-semesters (including Summer A/B), as well as several new immersive classes that will be offered over a 7-week period.

Please note that this schedule may be subject to change, and students are encouraged not only to revisit this page but also to confirm the course listings in the online Directory of Classes.

Our departmental immersive courses will cover a semester’s worth of material in a shorter period of time and will meet for twice as many hours per week, allowing students to take fewer courses at the same time and a more sustained focus on course content.

Please feel free to contact your major advisor with any questions you may have about your academic schedule.
