Spotlight on the
Program in International Education

Bard’s Program in International Education (PIE) was launched in 1991, in the wake of tremendous political transformations abroad. Since its founding, PIE has brought more than 400 students, representing 37 countries, to Bard for a semester or year of study. Currently, PIE serves as an opportunity for students from across the Bard Network to spend a semester at the College’s Annandale campus or at BGIA in New York City. Other students with international scholarship resources may be eligible to join PIE.

Advanced Certificate in Inequality Analysis

Economic inequality is a key concern in economics and public policy. The rise in inequality that occurred during the 1970s and early 1980s stimulated interest in the study of its causes and consequences. The subsequent surge in globalization throughout the 1990s and early 2000s created a situation in which economic growth and prosperity no longer dramatically reduced economic inequality. The persistence of inequalities within nations and across nations demands innovative policy responses. From the World Bank to the United Nations to governments throughout the world, a greater understanding of wealth distribution is a necessary skill in today’s policy landscape. To contribute to addressing this need, Central European University and Bard College’s Levy Economics Institute are pairing in a joint Advanced Certificate in Inequality Analysis that will take place at the Levy Institute and CEU’s extension site in Annandale-on-Hudson, New York.

Bard Summer Science Intensive

BSSI is a four-week intensive course for students from the Faculty of Liberal Arts and Sciences of St. Petersburg University (Smolny), in St. Petersburg, Russia. Participants explore an environmental topic from a scientific perspective in tandem with English instruction to support language development within the interdisciplinary theme. The program uses the Hudson Valley as a living classroom, in which students learn about ecology, water resource management, and the environmental movement in the United States. Students engage in hands-on activities such as water sampling, laboratory work, site visits, and stream walks and cleanups. Guest lecturers address a range of topics (environmental advocacy, conservation, and sustainable practices in the agricultural and waste management sectors) and instructional field trips include opportunities to interact with local community groups. In addition, students participate in popular outdoor activities, utilizing the area’s extensive park and trail networks. A science background is not required. Students should have a clear interest in learning about the natural environment.
