Bard College offers a number of Tuition Exchange opportunities for Bard students. Students participating in a Tuition Exchange apply through Bard to enroll directly as a student in the partner university/program. Studying via Tuition Exchange has numerous benefits including access to a large number and variety of courses and academic programs, the possibility of joining clubs and other activities offered by the partner institutions, and access to campus support systems and offices including student deans, security, and health and counseling services. Bard's Tuition Exchanges are reciprocal, with students from partner institutions studying for a semester or year in Annandale and/or in New York City at the Bard NYC program. 
  • How it Works
    Students participating in Tuition Exchanges pay their regular Bard tuition (with their financial aid package in effect) but are responsible for paying room, board, and fees to the partner university/program. No student is guaranteed to study abroad via Tuition Exchange. Some exchanges have limitations on the number of students who can apply each year.
  • How to Apply
    Students interested in applying to be an exchange student at one of the following partner institutions should contact the Study Abroad office well in advance of the application cycle at [email protected]. See The Study Abroad Process for essential information on eligibility, petitioning, and funding.
