<p>the Wiki posts are definitely tendentious. My D was given a Columbia University facebook address. She did not request this. She would prefer Barnard.</p>
<p>Although the Wiki posts pretend to be value free, which they aren’t, even they say that the degrees are conferred by the trustees of Columbia in exactly the same way as the Columbia degrees.</p>
<p>I can’t see what difference any of it makes, but with half her courses at Columbia, her degree conferred by Columbia University, her FB address Columbia University and her faculty tenured in part by Columbia I think you guys are potato-potato.</p>
<p>I have already stated that D would NOT present herself as a Columbia student. Most Barnard students feel as she does.</p>
<p>However, the ridiculous claims made on this board that degrees are not conferred by Columbia or that Barnard women do not official “graduate” and gets their degrees at the same ceremony is ridiculous.</p>
<p>I think the Barnard women care far less about the Columbia name than the elitist Columbia students.</p>
<p>I think it is obvious if we ask who are the more defensive, ungracious students. Barnard women can’t even be bothered to post here. Only their protective mamas. If you wish to take pot shots at loving, protective mothers, go right ahead.</p>
<p>Although the official word is affiliate, it is obvious that Barnard is a part of the Columbia community.</p>
<p>Furthermore, Columbia students take many courses at Barnard.</p>
<p>Yes yes we all know that Barnard students are better than CC SEAS.
However, Barnard degrees are NOT awarded by Columbia U according to this official document from Columbia U</p>
<p>go to any major corporation’s website (fortune 50) and look for their list of colleges under campus recruiting. if they have a decent list, youll see barnard and columbia listed separately. for what it’s worth, i leave the meaning of this to be inferred by the reader.</p>
<p>I think we can all agree Barnard and Columbia college are separate, but Barnard is affiliated with the columbia UNIVERSITY system. Case closed.</p>
<p>As for resumes, a Barnard prof that came to speak at my school about an oxbridge program wrote on his resume “Barnard College, Columbia University”</p>
<p>I’m not sure if that’s how graduates of Barnard are also supposed to write it, but it seems good. This argument is pointless because everyone agrees Barnard is not the same or part of columbia college, but part of (or within) columbia university</p>
<p>Nope. According to Columbia U : Columbia University comprises three undergraduate colleges : CC SEAS, GS. Barnard is NOT part of Columbia U. Even Barnard web site
NEVER said Barnard is part of Columbia. </p>
<p>You can write anything you want in your resume.
you can say
Barnard College, Harvard University. but Harvard won’t endorse you as a Harvard graduate, because Harvard does not award degree to Barnard Students.</p>
<p>or </p>
<p>you can say
Barnard College, Columbia University. but ColumbiaU won’t endorse you as a ColumbiaU graduate, because ColumbiaU does not award degree to Barnard Students.</p>
<p>Columbia does award Barnard students degrees. Don’t even try to fight it or shrug it off. When you get a Barnard degree, it has Columbia University at the top, the signatures of the presidents of both institutions on it, etc. So it’s not on your little website, big deal.</p>
<p>Nope… The Barnard-Columbia affiliation agreement states that Barnard degree is not
Columbia degree even though Barnard diploma gets signature from both school and it says Columbia on top .</p>
<p>I think “Barnard College, Columbia University” is also fine, since the distinction between the colleges is clear. However, it might be redundant and come off with an air of insecurity. I personally would just put “Barnard College.”</p>
<p>Barnard students are not listed in Columbia Alumni directory, because they are not Columbia graduate and did not receive degree from Columbia …</p>
<p>“”“…database of information about alumni from all schools within Columbia University. It does not include information about alumni from Columbia’s affiliate schools (e.g., Barnard College,…”“”" from Columbia alumni web site…</p>
<p>Again Barnard can say whatever you want…but Columbia won’t approve it …</p>
<p>baehrr i hope you aren’t referring to the list at [Notable</a> Columbia Alumni](<a href=“http://www.drownout.com/columbia-alumni/]Notable”>Notable Columbia Alumni) because that’s hardly an official website of columbia university. Jomjom does provide OFFICIAL columbia links at least.</p>
<p>There is no need to even say anything back to you guys. You have continued a pointless discussion, and really, have wasted so much time in the process. No matter what point I would make, it would just get argued for another five days until some other poor person stumbles on this - and then the vicious cycle continues. You have not convinced me of anything, especially since I’m going to go to Barnard and I absolutely think that it’s a separate institution with an affiliation. You have only proved to be…well, annoying.</p>
<p>Yes you will get non-Columbia degree and and will become non-Columbia Alumni
with a diploma co-signed by two school. </p>
<p>
Yes of course you are right… you can say Barnard College, Oxford University…
Barnard is part of Yale Law School. etc…
Barnard can say what ever they want…</p>
<p>This is a serious question, not exactly for jom jom.
Why does columbia claim zora neal hurston and other notable Barnard graduates as Columbia alumni if they’re not?</p>
