Academic Departments & Programs
Haverford's intentionally diverse curricular requirements ensure that our students are well-rounded, expansive thinkers. Students take courses in each of three major academic divisions for a variety of ideas, concepts, and intellectual approaches. Students declare a major by the end of sophomore year, when they begin a deep and detailed inquiry into one discipline that culminates in a comprehensive senior thesis.
