Bard Early Colleges are founded on the belief that many high school-age
students are eager and ready for the intellectual challenges of a
college education. Bard Early Colleges act on this belief by providing
younger scholars with a tuition-free, credit-bearing college course
of study in the liberal arts and sciences following the 9th and 10th
grades. Students are taught by college faculty in seminar classes; they
receive up to 60 college credits and an associate in arts (A.A.) degree
from Bard College, concurrently with a high school diploma. Bard
Early Colleges begin preparing students for college work as early as the
9th grade and offer ongoing guidance and academic supports.
Now in its second decade, the Bard Early Colleges network includes
campuses in Manhattan and Queens, New York; New Orleans, Louisiana;
Newark, New Jersey; Cleveland, Ohio; and the Harlem Children's Zone in
New York City. Since 2003, Bard Early Colleges have awarded 1,556
A.A. degrees.
