About the Bard Early Colleges
The Bard Early Colleges (BEC) are founded on the belief that, for
many young people, college can and should start at an earlier age.
Acting on this belief, Bard Early College enables students to begin
serious college study in place of the traditional 11th and 12th
grades, at no cost to students or families. The Bard Early Colleges
offer a unique home for young people’s intellectual ambition: as
both tuition-free, branch campuses of Bard College and public high
schools, they award a high school diploma and a Bard College
Associate in Arts degree (and 60 transferable credits) by the end
of the 12th grade. Students are taught by Bard College faculty in
undergraduate, seminar classes, all deeply rooted in the liberal
arts and sciences, in Bard College’s commitment to excellence in
teaching, and in Bard’s mission as a private college in the public
interest.
Now entering its third decade, the Bard Early College network
enrolls over 3,300 young people in campuses in Queens, Brooklyn,
the Bronx, Manhattan, and Hudson, New York; Newark, New Jersey; New
Orleans, Louisiana; Cleveland, Ohio; Baltimore, Maryland; and
Washington, D.C.
