“When I think about higher education, it’s ultimately about leadership. We want people who will go out and change the world and Haverford prepares you to do that.” Garry Jenkins ’92
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.
Haverford has more than 145 groups who publish magazines, host symposia, sing a cappella, discuss religion and spirituality, stay politically active, maintain a system of student self-government, dance, demonstrate and create.
Philosophy at Haverford aims as far as possible to reflect the richness, diversity, and reflexivity of philosophical inquiry.
