UPenn Engineering 4+1 Program

“I specifically remember choosing Haverford, in part, because of the 4+1 engineering program. It provides a fantastic opportunity for Haverford students to get two degrees from two great schools in only five years, while also opening up an avenue into the engineering world for those of us who want to pursue that career path.”  - Sam Yarosh '16

Haverford is the first liberal arts college in the world to enter into such an agreement with an Ivy League engineering program.

Cool Classes - “Theory of Non-Cooperative Games”

"Theory of Non-Cooperative Games”

"In Game Theory, we assume that all decision makers are rational—that they’ll choose what’s best for them given the constraints they’re facing, while taking into account the choices of others—and examine what sorts of strategies they’d undertake as rational actors. This allows us to theorize in a very precise way and generate hypotheses about the real world." — Visiting Assistant Professor of Economics Matthew Incantalupo

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