Psychology Program Handbook
2026–2027
Welcome
This Psychology Handbook was created to serve as a general guide to use as you embark, or continue, on, your studies with us. Please read this Handbook carefully; this document represents the most up-to-date guidelines and procedures for the Program. Information is included about events, major requirements, Moderation, the Senior Project, and the psychology faculty.
The most recent version of this handbook, and more details about the Psychology Program, can always be found on the program website (https://psychology.bard.edu). Past handbooks are also available in PDF format.1
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact any of the faculty in the Psychology Program.
This document is largely a digital one which contains both internal and external links. You can also download a copy of this document as a PDF.
We look forward to working with all of you, and we wish you the best for a productive and successful year.
