The Bard Global Degree is a synchronous, online degree program for students displaced or threatened by conflict, crisis, or political repression who have little or no access to a rigorous liberal arts education. Students enroll in the same standard of coursework as on Bard’s main campus, earn academic certificates, and graduate with accredited Bard associate’s and bachelor’s degrees.
A New Path to Higher Education
The synchronous online program empowers students to learn from global perspectives and grow into thoughtful and engaged citizens and community leaders, highlighting that a rigorous liberal education and student achievement is possible everywhere.
