The New Orleans Initiative offers a unique and highly-selective 8-week program in New Orleans. The program's 20 students will investigate notions of urbanism, ecology, and social policy, both in seminar style-classes and in demanding internships. Students will be expected to take two courses and intern up to 40 hours per week.

To all applicants who mailed materials to our previous office (2117 South Lopez St.):

Regrettably, the service forwarding mail to the new Bard Urban Studies office has been inconsistent. As a result, many of you have received (or might soon receive) these materials returned to you. If this is the case, please e-mail or call us (neworleans@bard.edu; 504-940-4214). We're eager to make other arrangements for your application to reach us (by e-mail or to our new office). We sincerely regret the inconvenience this has caused.
