This paper considers the social contributions by Bard College, a liberal arts college in
the United States, from the perspective of college management. The focal point of this
paper is “Microcollege,” one of the outreach activities by Bard College, which offers an
Associate in Arts degree course outside the Bard College’s main campus since 2016.
The first part of this paper explains the primary purpose and its structure. The second
part depicts the forming process, outline and practice of Microcollege. The third part,
focusing on benefits not only for Microcollege participants, but also for Bard College itself,
discusses the importance of Microcollege and tasks which have to be tackled.
Taking into account the multiple elements referred to above, the fourth part outlines
future research directions.
