Bard College occupies a historic 1,000-acre campus along the Hudson River in Annandale-on-Hudson, New York, approximately 90 miles north of New York City. The liberal arts institution, founded in 1860 as St. Stephen's College, features a mix of collegiate Gothic and contemporary architecture, including notable buildings designed by Frank Gehry and Rafael Viñoly. The college maintains a selective admission process and is recognized for its innovative curriculum, which includes the distinctive First-Year Seminar and Moderation process where students formally declare their academic focus. Bard's academic strengths include programs in the arts, literature, languages, and environmental studies, while the college's Fisher Center for the Performing Arts serves as a major cultural venue for the Hudson Valley region. Students are required to live on campus for their first three years, with housing options ranging from historic stone houses to modern residences.
