Dear Colleagues:

Al-Quds Bard Study Abroad Program


Abu Dis, Palestine



This distinctive program offers intellectually curious students an unparalleled academic experience:  the chance to study with Palestinian students at a college dedicated to the pursuit of intellectual inquiry, the promotion of critical thinking, and the open exchange of ideas and opinions.  The Al-Quds Bard Honors College for Liberal Arts and Sciences -- located in Abu Dis, a neighborhood divided from East Jerusalem by the separation wall -- is at the vanguard of liberal education Palestine.  As a result, it is a dynamic and intriguing location to spend a semester abroad.



Participants in the Al-Quds Bard Study Abroad Program will:
        •       Attend academically challenging classes taught in a seminar style, including courses analyzing a range of discourses surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict;
        •       Build meaningful connections with Palestinian students, both inside and outside of the classroom;
        •       Sharpen Arabic language skills, acquiring the vocabulary necessary to navigate daily life;
        •       Undertake an internship, putting into practice theories and ideas from readings and classroom debates; and
        •       Live in Ramallah, a vibrant Palestinian city, and participate in a wide range of cultural activities.
