The Bar College Conservatory of Music is a program of Bard College in Annandale-on-Hudson, New York. Founded in 2005, the program is unique among music conservatories in the United States in that all students are required to participate in a five-year dual-degree program, in which both a B.M. in music and a B.A. in a subject other than music are awarded. The Conservatory has an exceptional faculty, many of whom teach at other conservatories such as the Juilliard School and the Curtis Institute.
