Academics

Haverford's intentionally diverse curricular requirements ensure that our students are well-rounded, expansive thinkers. Students take courses in each of three major academic divisions for a variety of ideas, concepts, and intellectual approaches.

Students from “Advanced Topics in Biology of Marine Life” gave a series of TED Talk-style presentations to introduce audience members to a variety of case-study analyses on the artificial impact to the world’s marine ecosystems. Photo: Wanyi Yang ’20.

Office Hour – Roshan Jain

Assistant Professor of Biology Roshan Jain’s research focuses on how genes control behavior, using zebrafish to ask and answer questions about decision making, learning, and memory.
