Bard Institute for International Liberal Education

The Bard Institute for International Liberal Education, located at 1 Blithewood Avenue in Annandale-on-Hudson, New York, is dedicated to fostering comprehensive exchanges between students, faculty, and curricular elements with partner institutions around the world. These partnerships facilitate direct and sustained dialogue on intellectual and cultural issues, preparing participants to address the global challenges of the 21st century. Unlike traditional exchanges, the Institute prioritizes mutual respect and understanding, enriching learning and teaching for all involved. Rather than imposing American models, the Institute aims to create dynamic relationships that allow for the sharing of ideas and experiences between institutions.
