Bard College
Annandale-on-Hudson, NY
Bard College says, "The distribution requirements at Bard are a formal statement of the College's desire to achieve an equilibrium between breadth and depth, between communication across disciplinary boundaries and rigor within a mode of thought. Distribution exposes the student to unfamiliar areas that might have remained unexplored. Investigating a range of academic areas and approaches may help students discover the field on which they want to focus, contribute to their specialized study by putting it in a wider perspective, and expand their intellectual horizons."
