Nestled in a global dance hub, Barnard College's Dance Department provides an interdisciplinary curriculum that combines dance studies with the broad intellectual and artistic scope of a liberal arts education. The program foundation includes studio classes, performances at renowned venues like Miller Theater and New York Live Arts, plus diverse dance studies courses that foster creative expression alongside critical examination of performance traditions worldwide. Students collaborate with leading dance artists shaping today's American dance scene while learning from distinguished academic researchers.

Creating art, analyzing it, and writing about it form a vital component of liberal arts learning. Accordingly, the Dance Department provides technique classes for all skill levels and welcomes both majors and non-majors in most courses, with production opportunities available through auditions. Through partnerships with New York's cultural organizations, the department helps students bridge academic and professional dance worlds.

The Committee on Admissions selects women of proven academic strength who exhibit intellectual voracity and strong potential for further scholarly growth. In addition to school records, recommendations, writing, and test scores, we carefully consider candidates' talents, abilities, interests, and personal history. While admission is highly selective, it is also holistic; no one criterion or score determines acceptance. We consider each applicant in terms of her personal qualities, her intellectual capacity, and the rigor of the curriculum she has pursued, as well as her potential for achieving at Barnard. We review each applicant in the context of her school, community, and individual story.

Barnard's general education requirements cover a wide range of subjects: literature, the social sciences, language and the arts, lab sciences, and quantitative areas. For this reason, you should acquire a strong foundation in high school, taking courses from the core academic subjects: math, science, English, history, and foreign language.
