Bard Microcollege Holyoke students are now enrolled full-time and earning their associate degrees at The Care Center. Students take liberal arts coursework representative of the four academic divisions of the college—The Arts; Languages and Literature; Social Studies; and Science, Mathematics, and Computing.Description
