Bard-affiliated programs
Non-affiliated Programs
Bard’s official exchange partner in German is the Humboldt University in Berlin. Students on the exchange program spend one semester studying at the Humboldt, in departments of their choice (German literature, history, philosophy, cultural studies, etc.). This semester is typically the Spring semester of the junior year, allowing students to participate in an intensive one-month language course at the Humboldt before the start of its semester, which runs from early April to mid-July. Bard students who participated in the program are then asked to serve as “mentors” to the students from the Humboldt University who study at Bard during the Fall semester of the following year.
Bard students who wish to study abroad in other German cities are encouraged to seek out programs that allow them to attend classes within foreign universities, as opposed to programs that offer courses attended solely by Americans. Students can also receive credit for participating in the study abroad programs offered by other American colleges and universities as long as Bard approves their participation in these programs. With the approval of the College students can also matriculate directly at foreign institutions. (Note: Students participating in the Program in International Education are not eligible to participate in other study abroad programs.)

Post-graduate Fellowships
Robert Bosch (1861-1942) As the countries of the world become more interdependent, the Robert Bosch Foundation recognizes the importance of familiarizing American professionals and executives with the political, economic, and cultural environment of Europe in general and of the Federal Republic of Germany in particular. To further this goal, and to strengthen the ties of friendship and understanding between the United States and Germany, the Foundation is sponsoring a Fellowship Program which will enable young American professionals - (check out the requirements) - to participate in an intensive work and study program in Germany. Although a prime goal of this program is the advancement of American-German/European relations, it will, in addition, contribute to the participants' professional competence and expertise, and broaden their cultural horizons. For general information on Internships, see: www.cdsintl.org/fromusa/ipgerm.htm. For information on Summer Internship through the Bosch Foundation, see: www.cdsintl.org/fromusa/sip.htm Read comments on the Fellowship from students: "Bosch Tutors have an opportunity to teach at the university level in the new federal states (former East Germany) . They also take classes--sometimes for academic credit (Scheine)--and they usually live in student housing, where they become part of student life. The Tutors deepen their knowledge of the German language as well as the culture and history of the former East." (Nathan) Information on 'Bosch in the USA'
