Renowned for academic innovation and interdisciplinary study, Bard College promises a sound liberal arts education in an idyllic setting on the east bank of the Hudson River, just two hours north of New York City. Bard`s philosophy emphasizes empowerment and its close knit community of 1,667 students is engaged both academically and socially.
Bard offers a Bachelor of Arts degree in more than 40 different academic fields in four divisions: Arts; Languages and Literature; Science, Mathematics, and Computing; and Social Studies as well as a B.S. or B.M. in its five-year double degree programs. In keeping with a focus on flexibility, Bard has launched several special programs based on student and faculty interests such as the West Point-Bard Exchange, The New Orleans Initiative, and the Bard program for Globalization and International Affairs in New York City.
