COOL CLASSES: “Reading Comics and Religion”

"Reading Comics and Religion," which explores how representations of religion arise in comics and graphic novels, is co-taught by religion professors Ken Koltun-Fromm (Haverford) and Yvonne Chireau (Swarthmore), and features a weekly “making” lab with artist-in-residence JT Waldman.

Our Cool Classes blog series highlights interesting, unusual, and unique courses that enrich the Haverford College experience.

UPenn Engineering 4+1 Program

“I specifically remember choosing Haverford, in part, because of the 4+1 engineering program. It provides a fantastic opportunity for Haverford students to get two degrees from two great schools in only five years, while also opening up an avenue into the engineering world for those of us who want to pursue that career path.” - Sam Yarosh '16

Haverford is the first liberal arts college in the world to enter into such an agreement with an Ivy League engineering program.
