Welcome to International Academic Programs
More than a change of scenery...

Haverford College encourages interested students to spend a semester or a year abroad as part of their Haverford education. Ideally, study abroad should be more than a pleasant change of academic scene; it should also be an opportunity to expand and enrich the total course of study in ways not available at the College. Study abroad can enhance language skills, increase students' knowledge of other cultures, and provide academic and personal challenges.

Students should begin to consider study abroad as early as possible. Interested students need to think about where they want to be, what they would like to study, what language skills they have, and how study abroad will fit into their Haverford College plans.

   

"Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all people
cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try
and understand each other, we may even become friends."
