Haverford is a coeducational undergraduate liberal arts college founded in 1833 by members of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers). While the College is not formally affiliated with any religious body today, the values of individual dignity, academic strength, and tolerance upon which it was founded remain central to its character.
Haverford's 1,100 students represent a wide variety of interests, backgrounds, and talents. They come from independent and public schools across the United States, Puerto Rico, and more than 20 countries around the world. You will find more information in Haverford College's "2005-2006 Common Data Set." More information is available via the Institutional Research web site.
Extensive cooperation with nearby Bryn Mawr College adds an important dimension to the resources available at Haverford. Educational opportunities are further enhanced by cooperation with Swarthmore College and the University of Pennsylvania.
Although students choose Haverford because of its academic excellence, a sense of community participation informs the Haverford College experience both inside the classroom and out. Students work together through the arts and cultural activities, self-government and service programs, athletic programs, and day-to-day campus life.
The Honor Code, affirmed by the student body each year, represents the philosophy of conduct within the College. Students are expected to maintain a strong sense of individual responsibility as well as intellectual integrity, honesty, and genuine concern for others
Haverford College offers an atmosphere of intellectual challenge, excitement, and growth in a close-knit community that is dedicated to encouraging humane values during the undergraduate years... and for a lifetime.
