Commitment to Compelling Instruction
Haverford faculty model academic excellence through their scholarship and an ongoing commitment to compelling, effective instruction.
Customs Week is Haverford College’s orientation program designed to introduce all first-year students to college life at Haverford.
Haverford attracts intellectually curious, independent learners who value honesty, collaboration, and above all, new ways of seeing and improving the world.
As you perform real-world research and immerse yourself in hands-on learning, you'll work side-by-side with professors who are at the top of their fields.
Our mascot—the Black Squirrel—has a genetic adaptation that gives it a bold, black coat. Join our distinctive community and stand out from the pack with your fellow Haverfordians.
*We have a very tiny magic 8 ball.
