Haverford College has forged innovative partnerships with some of the world’s top academic institutions to offer students additional opportunities for graduate study.
Our degree partnership programs allow students to pursue an accelerated course of study toward a Master’s degree.

Upgraded facilities, more full-time coaches, state-of-the-art strength training and other enhancements have helped Haverford’s teams post impressive results in recent years. But the true measure of success for athletics is reflected in how well the program allows students to excel in both sports and academics.

The College’s Center for Peace and Global Citizenship has long supported student work in the realms of social justice and civic engagement by funding internships, service learning expeditions, and research travel to expand learning outside the classroom walls.

Recently the Center has extended the scope of its programming to include post-baccalaureate fellowships.

The Writing Center at Haverford College fosters a culture of writing that includes conversation with peers and faculty members at all stages of the writing process.

The Haverford campus is the oldest planned college landscape in the country.

The Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education has awarded Haverford College a silver rating in its 2014 Sustainability Tracking, Assessment & Rating System (STARS), reflecting increased commitment to comprehensive improvements in sustainability.

For students looking to forge close connections around shared interests, Haverford offers special interest housing choices, such as La Casa Hispánica (for those attuned to the culture of the Spanish-speaking world); Cadbury House (quiet study, and alcohol and drug-free); and the Ira de A. Reid House (devoted to extending the legacy of Reid, a renowned sociologist and Haverford’s first tenured African American faculty member).

Haverford’s rigorous academic program focuses on individual growth, intellectual exploration and pushing the boundaries of each discipline. Most classes are taught seminar style with an emphasis on discussion and debate.

The Committee for Environmental Responsibility (CER) was created by the students, faculty and staff of Haverford College, and founded on the socially responsible principles of the college. You can use their Building Dashboard to track real-time electricity use in buildings around campus that have been fitted with special meters.

The HaverFab Maker Space for the Arts and Sciences is outfitted with a 3-D scanner, 3-D printer, and ShopBot—an automated carving device able to shape wood, plastic, or aluminum.
