Description:
The M.F.A. program takes place over two years and two months, with students
in residence on campus during three consecutive summers, and two winter
sessions of independent study completed off campus. Each summer session runs
for eight intensive weeks; the 2008 summer session dates are Monday, June 9
through Friday, August 1. The day-to-day focus is on the individual process
and work in progress, as each student confronts the conceptual and practical
questions that are at the core of all artistic production. Work toward the
M.F.A. degree continues during independent study sessions in the two
intervening winters. The schedule of summers in residence and winter
independent work makes earning the M.F.A. degree possible without
sacrificing employment or other commitments. The result of this program
design is a diverse group of students, including active mid-career artists,
teachers, and professionals in other fields, as well as recent college
graduates.

Description:
The Bard Center for Environmental Policy equips future policy makers for the
complex interplay of science, law, economics, and politics that defines
contemporary environmental challenges. Each class uses case studies and
theoretical scenarios to illuminate basic principles and practice analytic
skills. Our innovative curriculum investigates the impact of socioeconomic
activities on natural ecosystem functioning and examines various political,
institutional, and legislative responses to environmental problems.
Throughout their two years at Bard, BCEP students are personally advised and
mentored by a distinguished faculty of academic and professional experts.
Students are required to complete a professional internship within the NGO,
government, or private sector. Graduates of the BCEP program are employed
throughout the United States and abroad as policy analysts, advisers,
consultants, and advocates for public and private institutions.
