Editing Haverford College (section)

== Academic Programs ==

Haverford offers approximately 40 majors and concentrations across arts and sciences, with particular strengths in natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities. The college's small size—among the smallest highly selective colleges in the nation—ensures intensive faculty-student interaction including required senior thesis or project in most majors. Research opportunities, independent study, and close mentorship prepare students for graduate programs and professional careers at rates rivaling much larger institutions.<ref name="haverford"/>

Cross-registration through the Bi-College relationship with Bryn Mawr (the closest partnership) and the broader Tri-College Consortium with Swarthmore substantially expands course offerings. Students can take courses at all three campuses, accessing combined faculty expertise while maintaining primary community at Haverford. The Quaker Consortium with Penn provides additional access to research university resources when needed. These partnerships provide breadth that a standalone small college could not achieve while preserving intimate educational community.<ref name="haverford"/>
