Bard's priority is the safety of our students, faculty, staff and guests. As news of COVID-19 changes daily and travel becomes increasingly uncertain, our senior administration is working closely with local health agencies and government officials to make sure we are following best practices with regard to public health and safety.
As of Monday, March 16, the Bard College Office of Admission canceled all campus tours through Friday, May 1 and replaced them with online Let's Meet sessions. These sessions will allow prospective students and their families to join virtual information and Q&A sessions hosted by an admission counselor and a current Bard student. You can register for these sessions by going to this webpage. We will notify you should we need to extend the campus tour cancellations beyond May 1.
We apologize for the inconvenience this might cause and want you to know that we are available for additional conversations by phone and email.
We know this is a difficult time. We wish you well and hope that you will reach out to us if you have any questions at all.

When It Comes to Future Earnings,
Liberal Arts Grads Might Get the Last Laugh
Students from liberal arts colleges don’t merely recoup their tuition dollars in the long run.
They eventually earn more than those who attended trade or business schools, a new report shows.
