The college lies on a 4-acre campus that stretches along Broadway, between 116th and 120th Streets, in the Morningside Heights neighborhood of Manhattan, adjacent to Columbia’s campus and near several other academic institutions.

The degrees at Barnard are awarded by Columbia University, and all college faculty members are granted tenure by the college and Columbia. Even though, the college is affiliated with Columbia, there are legally and financially separated, having an independent faculty and board of trustees. Most classes at Columbia are open to Barnard students and vice versa.
The college’s athletic department fields 15 sports teams, known as The Bears, which compete in the National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I and Ivy League, through the Columbia/Barnard Athletic Consortium, due to the fact that this way they have the opportunity to compete on a larger scale than they would, if Barnard had its own teams.
