Bard Info

We've got a great tour set up to get to know Bard, so here's a little info on it for all my fellow Columbians:

1. Bard College is in Annandale-on-Hudson, New York, on the east bank of the Hudson River, about 90 miles north of New York City and 220 miles southwest of Boston.
2. Bard College was founded, as St. Stephen's College, in 1860, a time of national crisis
3. In 1928 the College opened a radically new chapter in its history when it became an undergraduate school of Columbia University
4. In 1944 Bard became a coeducational institution. As a result, it severed its relationship with Columbia University and became independent as a secular, nonsectarian liberal arts college affiliated with the Episcopal church.
5. http://www.bard.edu is the link for their site

"The College offers the bachelor of arts degree with concentrations in more than 40 academic programs in four divisions: Arts; Languages and Literature; Science, Mathematics, and Computing; and Social Studies. Students who undertake an interdivisional academic program receive a degree in one of the four divisions, depending on their individual course of study and the subject of their Senior Project. In addition, Bard College offers two dual-degree programs: the Bard College Conservatory of Music offers a bachelor’s degree in music and a B.A. in another field in the liberal arts or sciences; and the Program in Economics and Finance offers a B.S. degree in economics and finance and a bachelor of arts degree in another field in the liberal arts or sciences other than economics"
