GHEA21
GHEA21 builds on the work of the Open Society University Network (OSUN), established in 2020, which successfully developed a new model of global higher education that has provided unrivaled opportunities for undergraduate students to pursue global learning with faculty from around the world. These opportunities bring together students from a diversity of geographies and backgrounds and fully integrate displaced and other marginalized students into partner institutions.
Bard Global Degree
The Bard Global Degree is a synchronous, online degree program for students displaced or threatened by conflict, crisis, or political repression who have little or no access to a rigorous liberal arts education.
Students enroll in the same standard of coursework as on Bard’s main campus, earn academic certificates, and graduate with accredited Bard associate’s and bachelor’s degrees.

Engaged Liberal Arts and Sciences Courses
Engaged Liberal Arts and Sciences (ELAS) courses link coursework and critical thinking skills with engagement activities that contextualize course materials and enhance learning. A significant portion of the learning takes place outside of the classroom, where students engage with different geographies, organizations, and programs in local communities, or in the communities where Bard’s national and international partners are based.
