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.

COOL CLASSES: “Introduction to Latin Literature: Friends and Enemies of Rome”

“Introduction to Latin Literature: Friends and Enemies of Rome”

Taught by Associate Professor of Classics Bret Mulligan, this classics course investigates who the Romans were by studying how they described friendship and their friends, and those enemies who resisted, betrayed, and bedeviled them.

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

Students in Mulligan's class take on the role of Roman senators during a historical simulation. See what other courses the Department of Classics is offering this semester.
