Bard Employment Opportunities View All Opportunities Bard Prison Initiative/Microcollege Faculty – Bard Microcolleges New York City Apply Here: https://apply.interfolio.com/46585 About the Bard MicrocollegeOffering a new model for inclusive higher education, Bard Microcolleges bring high-quality, tuition-free, liberal arts instruction to communities often excluded from the university experience due to a variety of
structural barriers. BPI currently has two Microcolleges in New York City located in Harlem and Brooklyn. Each Microcollege is created in partnership with a community-based institution. Their strength is the result of alliances between organizations that are conventionally separate from one another but have overlapping missions, common purpose, and shared core values. Across the Microcolleges, students take liberal
arts coursework representative of the four academic divisions of the college—The Arts; Languages and Literature; Social Studies; and Science, Mathematics, and Computing. The Bard Microcollege is an effort of the Bard Prison Initiative.
