"The study of the environment is larger than any one class—or faculty member’s expertise—so we’ve designed the course to study a small number of case studies each year from the perspective of two faculty members in different disciplines: ideally, a scientist and someone from the social sciences, humanities, or arts." — Assistant Professor of Biology Jonathan Wilson

“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.
