Academics

Haverford's intentionally diverse curricular requirements ensure that our students are well-rounded, expansive thinkers. Students take courses in each of three major academic divisions for a variety of ideas, concepts, and intellectual approaches.

Every year students and faculty from the classics department gather and read a classical text from start to finish. This time, the chosen text was Emily Wilson's translation of the Odyssey. Wilson, pictured here at the Homerathon in VCAM, is the first woman to translate the Odyssey in its entirety and does so in iambic pentameter. Photo: Claire Blood-Cheney '20.
