<p>This probably has been answered before but when you graduate from BC, what does your diploma say? I have heard, Columbia? Am I right…just asking.</p>
<p>It is conferred by Columbia University and says so. It also says Barnard.</p>
<p>Ya it says something along the lines of Barnard College of Columbia
and it's written COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY in latin or something at the top</p>

<p>Hey, Primefactor! How are you doing?? Thanks for posting this...I remember you had done it before but thought it might be long ago enough that it might not be accessible via search. Hope you are doing well!</p>
<p>every undergraduate college has a class day before the big graduations, so there is a class day for barnard, cc, seas, gs, etc etc. and then the entire university, all the grad schools + undergrad schools have a huge combined graduation in front of low library.</p>
<p>The</a> Bwog
This topic came up in the BWOG. A student asked a classics professor and former dean to translate the diplomas. The result was amusing.</p>
<p>haha...we must have over-educated you; you aren't actually supposed to be able to <em>read</em> the diploma</p>
