Clemente Free Courses in the Humanities
Up to 30 non-traditional students take courses in the humanities taught by professors from local colleges and universities in order to explore the possibility of entering college. Students can earn up to 6 credits from Bard College. Tuition is free and students receive books, supplies, bus tokens and child care stipends.
“This was a life changing experience for me. My professors taught me to be more of a critical writer and thinker. I went on to enroll in the Bard Holyoke Mirco-College and will graduate this May with my Associate degree in Liberal Arts.”
