Astronomy at Haverford

The astronomy major is a good fit for students who want an in-depth education in astronomy that can be applied to a range of careers. Our faculty work at the cutting edge of modern astronomy and cosmology, creating exceptional research opportunities for majors.

At 7:30 p.m. on Friday, April 26, Haverford's Strawbridge Observatory will participate in the Franklin Institute's Citywide Star Party by hosting a family-friendly public observing event rain or shine. Photo: Sarah Jennings '21.

The Campus

Our campus has 200 acres of award-winning architecture and landscaping; more than 50 academic, athletic, and residential buildings; and a nationally recognized arboretum with 400 species of trees and shrubs, a 3.5-acre duck pond, gardens, and wooded areas.

Our arboretum renewal program includes planting trees, such as these saplings, along the Nature Trail. The goal is to help restore the natural four-layer structure of the eastern deciduous forest, which includes large canopy and understory species. Photo: Patrick Montero.
