The Learning Commons provides academic support for all Bard students. We offer peer tutoring in writing and mathematics as well as every subject taught at the college. We offer writing and academic skills workshops for the general student population and support for senior projects and moderation papers. We help students seeking disability accommodations. And our faculty teach credit-bearing courses in writing, mathematics, English as a second language, and inclusive pedagogies, composition philosophy and pedagogy, information literacy, and public speaking.
Our Location
The Learning Commons is located in the basement of Stone Row, across from the old Henderson Computer Center and next to the Root Cellar.
