Citizen Science is an innovative new program for all first-year students at Bard College.
"This required program is designed to give all students the tools, attitudes, and motivation to use science and mathematics concepts in their daily lives – going beyond simple literacy to the development of critical abilities in these subjects. . . Citizen Science is a three-week program with collaborative learning at its core. The program examines topics not typically explored in traditional science offerings. "
-Leon Botstein, President, Bard College
Through three weeks of intensive study during January intersession, students will develop a core understanding of both the conduct and the content of science. This foundation will allow them as citizens to grapple with the ever increasing number of national and global issues influenced by science.
