“As a queer person of color, I would say that my study abroad experience not only enabled me to engage with and consider my identity within the freedom of another culture, but the time spent away from America also helped me to contextualize previous experiences and believe in a wider, more pronounced version of global citizenship.” – Matthew Ridley '19
Each year more than 130 Haverford students take advantage of the opportunity to study abroad.
The 2018 Study Abroad Photo Contest third-place winner in the Places category: Marina Mundo '18, "The Giant's Causeway," taken in Northern Ireland.
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.
