The Department of Music at Haverford offers a creative approach to music theory, a curriculum in music history that deals with music in the social context and embraces world music and jazz, while our applied music program and ensembles provide students with opportunities for performances and tours.

Cool Classes - “The Future of Farming”

"The Future of Farming: Controversies in Agricultural Development”

"I want students to come away from this class with the skills to trace the tangled connections between science and politics in agriculture, so that they can forge their own perspective and more effectively advocate for the food system they desire." — Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow and Hurford Center for the Arts and Humanities Assistant Professor of Environmental Studies Rafter Sass Ferguson

Our Cool Classes blog series highlights interesting, unusual, and unique courses that enrich the Haverford College experience .
