The Haverford campus is the oldest planned college landscape in the country. Our meticulously maintained 200 acres contain a nature trail, a Pinetum and flower gardens.
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.
“Studying abroad enriched my academic experience by exposing me to new perspectives and encouraging me to critically reevaluate my existing intellectual assumptions..” – Ben Wohl ’14
Each year more than 130 Haverford students take advantage of the opportunity to study abroad.
David Roza ’15, an English major and cross-country member, will spend his summer interning at The Portland Tribune. Roza will work with newsroom staffers to learn journalistic principles and write stories during his internship. He is especially interested in reporting on environmental issues and writing profiles about local residents.
