Bharathi Women's College, is a women's general degree college located at Chennai, Tamil Nadu. It was established in 1964. The college is affiliated with the University of Madras. This college offers courses in arts, commerce and science.

History

During the centenary celebration of Tamil poet Subramania Bharathi in 1981 and 1982 this college was renamed Bharathi Women's College. Today the college has more than 4000 students and over 180 faculty members serving in 13 departments. The college is located in the fairly large eight-acre campus, nested in the crowded George Town, Chennai. This institution caters to the needs of economically and socially weaker sections of the society, especially the first generation of women learners providing curricula as well as sports and other activities.

The college was conferred with autonomy in 1998 and was accredited by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) in 1999 with four-star status and subsequently it applied for re-accreditation in October 2004. A peer team constituted by NAAC visited the college and re-accredited the institution with B grade. The autonomy status was extended for the next five years for this college for the 13 undergraduate and 13 postgraduate courses by the University Grants Commission (UGC) team which visited the college in 2012. Third cycle of assessment by NAAC was done in 2015 and re-accredited with A status.
