Bard’s extraordinary faculty are dedicated to the philosophy of teaching. Today and throughout Bard’s history, members of the faculty have effected change in medicine, the arts and letters, international affairs, journalism, scientific research, and education, among other endeavors. These distinguished scholars are advisers as well as instructors: Bard has no graduate teaching assistants. And the average class size of 16 in the Lower College and 12 in the Upper College allows for intimate discussions and one-on-one interaction.

“What brought me to Bard, in a word, was the faculty.”

“To work with Joan Tower, George Tsontakis, and James Bagwell was an opportunity I couldn’t miss. I had long followed and admired their work, and then I found out that each of them taught here. It’s easy for musicians to focus only on music, whereas I wanted to have a broader education that would prepare me for a world that requires a more well-rounded base of knowledge and experience.”

—David Bloom ’13, BA in music with a concentration in composition and conducting, and MMus ’15 in conducting

“The Motivating Power of Melancholia”: Black Melancholia, on Display Now at the Hessel Museum of Art, Reviewed in the New York Times
“A racist attack on Black Americans, with the spectacle of real-time pain it carries, tends to make news,” writes Holland Cotter for the New York Times. “But the depression that racism itself generates—the dread, anger and despair that create a low-pressure area in the soul—goes pretty much unreported.” Black Melancholia, a “stirring group show” on display now at the Hessel Museum of Art at Bard College, takes as its theme the “chronic condition” that can arise in Black life and art.
