Study Abroad/Study AwayFor Bard Students > Choosing a ProgramTo learn more about opportunities for study abroad programs, students are encouraged to meet with their academic advisers, the study abroad adviser Katrina Helz (845-640-2153), and advisers at the Institute for International Liberal Education. Many students combine programs in ways that allow them to develop a distinctive approach to their area of study, experience other cultures, do on-site research, and explore new perspectives. There are five types of programs in which students can participate:Bard-Sponsored ProgramsPrograms organized by Bard College for which Bard awards academic credit and Bard financial aid generally transfers.
Language Intensive ProgramsPrograms offered over the winter or summer break designed to build on study during the academic year and help students obtain a command of a foreign language.
Bard-Approved ProgramsPrograms offered by other academic institutions that have been found satisfactory in the past by Bard students and faculty. These programs are subject to periodic review.Other Study Abroad ProgramsPrograms that are not sponsored by or affiliated with Bard and which have not been recommended by faculty.Independent StudyAn independent study project abroad may be undertaken as part of the normal course load in a study abroad program or during the January intersession or the summer. Independent study projects must be approved by a faculty sponsor, the head of the relevant division or program, and the College's Executive Committee. Students interested in developing an independent study project should consult with their academic advisers. The possibilities for research projects abroad extend to every academic discipline and are innumerable.Study Abroad AdvisorInstitute for International Liberal Education, Ottaway Gatehouse
