Bard Early College National Initiative

Campaign for the Liberal Arts in High School

The early college initiative builds on the success of Bard's innovative early college programs, which expand access to rigorous opportunities in the liberal arts and sciences for public high school students. Through the initiative, Bard advocates for public policies that support early colleges and other secondary-postsecondary partnerships, broadens its early college network, and works with other colleges to extend early college programming in their districts.
