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.

  • 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.
  • Committed to providing a broad-based liberal arts education to its 1,168 students (546 men and 622 women), the college awards bachelor of arts and bachelor of science degrees in the social sciences, humanities, life sciences and physical sciences. The college has approximately 111 full-time faculty members and a student-faculty ratio of approximately 10 to 1.
  • Originally landscaped by the English gardener William Carvill, the park-like 216-acre campus includes more than 400 species of trees and shrubs, a nature walk, and a duck pond. The varied architectural styles of campus buildings, representing more than 150 years of architectural evolution, give the campus a unique character and charm.
