About the Program

Prior to the beginning of classes, students are given an overview of the complete realm of university life, from academics to social activities.

The major part of the New Student Orientation is the Academic Language and Thinking Program introduced as a pilot Bard –AUCA partnership project in 2011 in AUCA, which is a rigorous introduction to the liberal arts education with a specific focus on writing.
