We think that one of the most useful ways to get a sense of the work that goes on at the Bard Graduate Center is for you to attend one of our open houses in the fall. Hosted by the Dean and Chair of our school, Professor Peter N. Miller, and by the Dean for Academic Administration and Student Affairs, Elena Pinto Simon, a BGC Open House presents inquirers with the opportunity to hear about work of the BGC, to listen to faculty talk about their methodological approaches, and to have general questions answered about admissions and financial aid. Included in each event is a presentation about the new facility, which opened in fall 2009.
