Engineering In affiliation with the Schools of Engineering at Columbia University, Washington University in St. Louis, and Dartmouth College, Bard offers programs of study leading to degrees in engineering. Under the 3-2 program, a student transfers to the school of engineering at the end of the junior year at Bard and, upon completing that two-year program, qualifies for both a B.A. degree from Bard and a B.S. degree in engineering from the other school. A Senior Project is not required for either of these programs. Under the alternative 2-1-1-1 program at Dartmouth (two years at Bard, then one at Dartmouth, one at Bard, and one at Dartmouth), the student spends the senior year at Bard, and therefore does a Senior Project. There are two 4-2 programs: the student completes the entire four-year program at Bard and after two years at the other school qualifies for the Bard B.A. and either B.S. or M.S. degrees. Admission to any of these programs is contingent on fulfillment of Bard major and distribution requirements; the specific course prerequisites for each engineering program; achievement of a grade point average of 3.0 or higher, both overall and in the sciences; and recommendation of two Bard faculty members and the Bard faculty liaison, Professor Burton Brody. Applicants need not be science majors. Interested students should consult with Professor Brody early in their Bard careers.
