Through the Tri-College Consortium, Haverford, Bryn Mawr, and Swarthmore students take classes at all three schools and frequently collaborate on extracurricular activities.

The new Tri-Co Philly Program is a semester-long, non-residential program that provides students both curricular and co-curricular activities in nearby Philadelphia.

The urban setting of Philadelphia provides a sense of place to enhance the classroom experience, helping students learn firsthand how the material in the courses is informed by the environment around them.

Environmental Studies

Building on years of student interest stoked by a decade of classes in the discipline and the introduction of a Tri-Co minor in 2011, this year the College has officially launched an innovative new Bi-Co environmental studies major, which combines insights from biology, anthropology, literature, and more.
