About Academic Advising

The Dean of Studies Office supports the College’s academic advising system and helps students access professors and professional staff members who are equipped to assist them with any curricular or cocurricular issues, concerns, or questions that might arise during the students’ time as undergraduates. 

The Deans hold regular advisory meetings with students throughout their time at Bard in order to help them meet current goals and chart their larger academic careers. We provide guidance and assistance to students during the registration process and to students experiencing academic difficulties. We provide guidance on academic enrichment opportunities, including on independent studies, tutorials, and study abroad programs. We advise students on post-graduate opportunities, including prestigious scholarships and fellowships.
