The Program
Citizen Science is a 'first-of-its-kind', 'unique to Bard College' course focused on engaging students with their own scientific literacy. During this 10-week program, students work to access, validate, and integrate scientific findings into their daily lives by using real-world examples. Through the lens of the story of PCB contamination in the Hudson River that forms one border of our Annandale campus, students will engage with not only how science is conducted, but how the findings from a scientific study make their way from the laboratory to the desk of policy makers and impact public discourse. During Citizen Science, Bard students, regardless of major, become constructive participants in the debate over, and the solutions to, critical global issues.
