Students with interests in engineering are encouraged to contact the Faculty Coordinator of Engineering Programs early during their time at Haverford, and must work with the Faculty Coordinator in submitting applications to either the University of Pennsylvania 4+1 or California Institute of Technology 3+2 program.
The Master's degrees available through the 4+1 program, and the required Haverford major for each are given below. Each link leads to the associated website at Penn, which provides details on the careers accessible with that degree. Please contact the listed Haverford faculty member for further details.
