Barnard Education Program/Department

The Barnard Education Program/Department serves as an academic hub for students pursuing studies in teaching, curriculum development, and educational theory. Part of Barnard College’s broader liberal arts framework, the department supports undergraduates exploring careers in K–12 classrooms, policy research, or advanced scholarship. Courses here often intersect with sociology, psychology, and public policy—reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of modern education studies. While the program maintains a focus on pedagogical training, it also encourages critical examination of equity, access, and institutional structures within schools.

Classes and administrative offices are housed in Milbank Hall 335-336 at 3009 Broadway, New York, NY 10027, placing the department steps from the broader Morningside Heights academic corridor. Questions about course enrollment, faculty advising, or program requirements can be directed to (212) 854-7072. For those mapping a visit, the building’s entrance is pinpointed via these directions—a quick reference amid the neighborhood’s mix of Gothic campus architecture and low-key café spots.
