anywhere to find professor reviews besides rate my professors?

im an incoming grad student this fall and there are a number of professors i cant find on rate my professors—i know other schools have some kind of internal feedback system where you can see students' ratings for teachers, does bard have anything like that? or even a facebook group where this is discussed? when i was in undergrad we would exchange experiences over fb, but it seems like people aren't using fb much anymore.

Questions about the IR/Poli-Sci program and campus life at Bard!

Hi! I'm a student looking to apply to Bard this fall and hopefully study political science/International relations. I was wondering if anyone could tell me about their experiences with this program at Bard!

I've also heard of the dorm situation there being somewhat unfortunate, and am curious if this issue has been mostly resolved by now/if its just negativity bias.

Thanks!

Last, for the meals if I am follow my own diet so can I request to cook my own meal - asked no reply from team ?

Bard College's president, administrators, and faculty wrote nine letters of support for a murderer

Bard College's president, administrators, and faculty wrote nine letters of support for a murderer.

Autostraddle review of Carrie Carolyn Coco

On the book: "Gerard launches several investigations simultaneously, the main one being an inquiry into Carolyn’s life from when she was a young child to the time right before she was killed; another examining some of Stetson-Shanahan’s personal history, his artistic ambitions, and his interest in weapons; one that focuses specifically on the history of Bard College, its president Leon Botstein, and the many instances of sexual assault, violence, and untreated mental health emergencies that occurred on campus since Botstein became president; and perhaps the most harrowing one, a examination of how her friends, family, and colleagues were impacted by this tremendous loss."

Is Bard College a Good Choice If You Wanna Major in Economics?

Are economics degrees from Bard respected? Any notable econ professors at Bard? What is the experience of learning econ at Bard like? Does Bard have data on how much money these degrees make after college? I'm seriously interested in Bard College as a transfer option, so if anyone could answer these questions, please do.

Grad programs

Hello everyone!

I applied to Bard's MA in Decorative Arts, Design History, and Material Culture. I feel like I should have heard from them by now, but I haven't heard anything. Does anyone know anything? Also, does anyone know the acceptance rate for this program? Any information would be super helpful!

How is the philosophy/religious studies program at bard?

Prospective student planning on doing a double major in philosophy and religious studies. Was wondering what the programs—more so philosophy—are like.

I’m a bit worried about class options as the course list was quite small compared to other colleges. Is this an issue?

Is it more analytic learning?

How competent are the professors?

Are you challenged?

How well do the programs prepare you for grad school/admissions?

Thanks!

How is the English department?

I got accepted into Bard, and I like almost everything about it, but my main concern is the academics. I want classes where I actually learn and that are challenging but not impossible. I'm also planning on going to grad school, so I want a college that prepare me for that. I'm specifically focusing on majoring in English. Does anyone know anything about the department?
