<p>
I agree with this statement !.</p>
<p>The level of discourse here in this thread has just plummeted. Oh well.</p>
<p>Yeah, kind of like watching Beevis and Butthead. </p>
<p>On another note entirely, here’s something you might enjoy, @churchmusicmom. I just signed up to take a free online courses in economics from Columbia – via Coursera – check out the page at <a href=“https://www.coursera.org/columbia”>https://www.coursera.org/columbia</a> – I signed up for “Economics of Money and Banking, Part 1”. </p>
<p>I checked out the course and professor on Culpa and - it’s the equivalent of Econ V3265 and the prof has a “silver” rating --one of the course reviews says, “This was one of the single best courses I took at Columbia”.</p>
<p>You might want to go to the page I linked to and check out the full course description … just in case you want to learn more. ;)</p>
<p>(Feel free to join me to take the class – or you can browse through other offerings if you haven’t discovered the delights of Coursera already. Lots of other offerings from universities all over the world - including many courses in music & music theory if that’s your passion – and neuroscience if you would like a better grasp of your daughter’s field of study. You might want to check out the Emory offerings as well – there’s a course starting soon given by an Emory prof. of neuroscience.). </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Congrats! You’re equally as misguided!</p>
<p>Thanks, Calmom! I would love to check out that page—however, the link did not show up completely. I had NOT heard of Coursera and briefly checked it out. That seems amazing!!</p>
<p>Edited to add: Nevermind! I just found the page and course description as well as info on the instructor. It seems you are in for quite the adventure! And others should definitely check out this guy…Columbia University knows how to pick 'em! 
</p>
<p>You surely won’t find me taking a course on economics/finance, however. Music theory, maybe….</p>
<p>
Yeah. It is two female version of Beevis and Butthead. Interestingly both females have similar ID (start with letter ‘c’ and ends with ‘mom’) LOL</p>
<p>this has been fun … if anyone interested in Barnard is reading this I’ll repeat what I wrote in one of the first posts in this thread.</p>
<p>The last few pages or arguing are essentially arguing over the semantics of what to call the relationship between the school is. Whatever the legal definition and whatever it should be called and/or could be called what really matters is how does the relationship work? Does it add to the Barnard experience? How does it compare to other school relationships?</p>
<p>For my daughter Barnard’s relationship was a huge positive 99+% of the time, it gave her access to resources not typically available to a student at a LAC, and the relationship as close and as easy as any I have ever heard about. What more would you want from the relationship?</p>
<p>Oh, here’s the full link – sorry, I didn’t know that CC is blocking that particular web site – just go to:
<a href=“http://www.coursera.org”>www.coursera.org</a> /columbia
(you’ll need to delete the space between the g and the / to have the link work when you plug it into your browser)</p>
<p>And then click the link on that page to the “Economics of Money and Banking” course to learn more- right now, its the first course listed, near the top of the page. </p>
<p>Drat – the link seems to have disappeared again. I don’t get it – Coursera is a WONDERFUL and FREE resources for parents and students alike. It can provide high school kids with an advance peek of what a college is like and get a little bit of a sense of what some of the faculty is like at their target schools. It might provide a good resource to help high school students with AP classes, and college students with various courses – if the Coursera prof turns out to be better at explaining stuff than their own instructor. (My daughter used to complain to me all the time that her Stats instructor at Columbia was incomprehensible… my free online stats teacher at Princeton was quite lucid and made the subject very accessible.) </p>
<p>Oh well, I give up – if anybody wants to find the page I was linking to – Google these two words: Coursera Columbia – it’s the top result.</p>
<p>Or try, Coursera Barnard. That works too. ;)</p>
<p>That is exactly how I found it, Calmom. I have no idea why the link is blocked. What a wonderful resource!</p>
<p>@fage345 Just so everyone knows, “fage345” is a Columbia reject and is a student at Harvard Extension School. I know who he is and I know him well personally; he has multiple accounts on CollegeConfidential dedicated to perpetuating lies and degrading Columbia and Barnard. Please ignore his posts.</p>
<p>Incorrect. Recruitment is shared between ALL of Columbia University’s schools including CC, SEAS, and Barnard. I just had the pleasure of attending my son’s graduation from CU (SEAS) and in two years will attend another when my daughter graduates from Barnard. They will both proudly display their Columbia University diplomas.

<p>Columbia students wonder exactly what Barnard is.</p>
<p>As a matter of fact, so do Barnard students. </p>
For US News rankings, only the statistics, offerings, endowment, facilities of that specific school are used for its rankings. So nothing offered by Columbia is included in Barnard’s ranking (and vice versa.) Standing alone Wellesley, Bryn Mawr etc have much larger facilities, endowments, faculty, offerings per student. But in that same vain, Wellesley students can take courses at MIT and Bryn Mawr cross registers with Haverford, Swarthmore, and Penn, that are not considered in their rankings either. Altho Barnard may be lowest ranked of the seven sisters on USNews, it is the most desirable and has the lowest admit rate exactly because of it’s affiliated relationship with Columbia
