Bard College at Simon's Rock

Bard College at Simon’s Rock is the only four-year residential college of the liberal arts and sciences exclusively for students ready to enter college after the 10th or 11th grade. We’re part of the prestigious Bard network, and we boast an impressive academic rating of 92 (99 is highest) from the Princeton Review.
Students complete a Bachelor's degree in one of 35 different concentrations. Eighty percent of our students go on to graduate school.
Pre-engineering students at Simon’s Rock have the option of applying to Columbia University’s Combined Plan Program in New York City, enabling you to take advantage of the best of what each educational experience has to offer. You’ll receive a rigorous liberal arts education in small, supportive classes at our rural campus in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, working toward your BA degree with a pre-engineering focus. Then, you’ll transfer to Columbia’s renowned and selective engineering program.
This approach allows you to explore a broad array of liberal arts courses that span the arts, humanities, and sciences, giving you a well-rounded foundation in the critical thinking and problem-solving skills that will make you a better engineer. Our pre-engineering curriculum will set you up to identify and solve the world’s biggest problems. This combination of creativity and STEM opens up possibilities in ever-changing job markets. And as an early college student, you’ll earn both a BA and BS in engineering two years earlier than most.
