Bard College
Bard College is a private liberal arts institution, not a trade school, and primarily offers bachelor's and graduate degrees in subjects like the arts, humanities, sciences, and social studies. While it does not offer traditional trade programs, the Career Development Office provides resources such as one-on-one advising, workshops, and internship opportunities to help students connect their liberal arts education to various career paths. Some programs, like those in the Bard NYC summer offerings, incorporate hands-on internship experiences to link academic theory with practical application in fields such as human rights, international affairs, media, and environmental sustainability.
