Overview

The Economics and Finance program at Bard College is designed to meet the needs of students who wish to achieve a broad education in the liberal arts and sciences even as they prepare themselves for careers in the financial world.

Quick Fats:

The BS/BA program requires 160 credits; the student must fulfill all general educational requirements of the College’s BA program.
The BS degree will not be awarded unless the student also receives the BA degree. However, a student may elect to step out of the program, continuing in the BA program. Hence, the dual-degree program is structured to allow all requirements for the BA to be met within four years.
