History The Bloomfield College Kellman Course
in the Humanities is modeled after the Bard
College Clemente Course in the Humanities, which
was begun as an experiment in 1995 at the Roberto
Clemente Family Guidance Center on the Lower East
Side of New York. The Kellman Course in the
Humanities was first offered in 2000 with funding
from a FIPSE (Fund for the Improvement of
Postsecondary Education of the US Department of
Education) grant awarded to Bard College and
under the leadership of Earl Shorris. Bloomfield
College was one of five institutions across the
country to establish its own version of the
Clemente Course in the Humanities under the Bard
College FIPSE grant. The Bard College Clemente
Course has now been replicated at more than 14
sites in the US, as well as internationally. The
Kellman Course has also received financial
support from the New Jersey Council for the
Humanities (2007-2008). It is named for Martin
Kellman, beloved Professor of English who died in
1999.
