International Network Courses

Challenging students to examine the ideas and practices
of being a global citizen in the 21st century.

The Bard International network is deepened through joint courses that link faculty and students with classes that share common themes, assignments, and increasingly common readings, as well as “virtual” classes that unite students at different network institutions.

Spotlight: Global Citizenship

This interdisciplinary course critically examines the conceptual and theoretical foundations of global citizenship and investigates how it might work in practice. Throughout the semester, students across the Bard network engage and collaborate, creating a dynamic cross-cultural conversation about the potential for and limitations of global citizenship.

What does is mean to be a global citizen?

“A global citizen cares for real people—not people in the abstract, not humanity in general, but real people to whom he or she makes a pact of solidarity that hardship and difficulty can’t break.”
—Michael Ignatieff, President, Central European University
