Does Haverford have engineering?

Haverford does not offer a traditional ABET-accredited engineering degree. However, it offers strong foundational programs in Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Math, and Computer Science. Many students pursue "3-2 Engineering" dual-degree programs, spending 3 years at Haverford and 2 years at an engineering school (e.g., Caltech, Columbia) to earn both a BA and a BS in Engineering.

How easy is it to take classes at Bryn Mawr or other schools?

It is very easy and common to take classes at Bryn Mawr College (just a short shuttle ride away) – courses appear directly in the registration system. Students can also easily take classes at Swarthmore College and the University of Pennsylvania (Penn) through the Quaker Consortium, significantly expanding academic options.

What undergraduate research opportunities are available?

Research is deeply integrated. Opportunities include: Faculty-led research projects (often during term or summer - many funded by college grants like HAVEN), Senior Thesis (a capstone research experience for most majors), KINSC Summer Scholars program (intensive paid summer research), and access to major research institutions in Philadelphia via faculty connections.
