Philosophy

The Bard College Conservatory of Music is, above all, fearless and adventurous. We honor tradition by looking to reinvent it.

We honor our students by treating them as whole persons, capable of more than they imagined. We believe in excellence, curiosity, inquiry, risk-taking, and community.

The unique undergraduate curriculum of the Bard College Conservatory of Music is guided by the principle that musicians should be broadly educated in the liberal arts and sciences to acheive their greatest potential.

The five-year, double-degree program combines rigorous conservatory training with a challenging and comprehensive liberal arts curriculum in a supportive educational community.

Graduating students receive a bachelor of music (BM) and a bachelor of arts (BA) in a field other than music.

At the Bard Conservatory the serious study of music goes hand in hand with the education of the whole person.
