Al-Quds Bard Study Abroad Program

This distinctive program offers intellectually curious students an
unparalleled academic experience:  the chance to study with Palestinian

promotion of critical thinking, and the open exchange of ideas and opinions.
The Al-Quds Bard College for Liberal Arts and Sciences - located in Abu Dis,
a neighborhood divided from East Jerusalem by the separation wall - is at

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;
