Career Placement
The Bard College Career Development Office cooperates with the BCEP in preparing its graduate students to enter the job market. The services are tailored to individual career preferences and plans, and also include networking and interview preparation. An online job board facilitates searches, and career-specific symposia and panels are held throughout the year. BCEP faculty members work with students to identify professional opportunities and make contacts with potential employers, with considerable success in matching student candidates with exciting job opportunities.
