Barnard College is an independent college of liberal arts and sciences for women, affiliated with Columbia University, founded in 1889. Barnard has its own campus across from Columbia University in an upper westside Manhattan neighborhood called Morningside Heights. Morningside Heights is essentially a university town. Neighboring institutions include the Manhattan School of Music, Teachers College, Bank Street College of Education, Union Theological Seminary, and Jewish Theological Seminary.
