Overview
The Environmental Studies program at Haverford College combines the strengths of our two liberal arts campuses to create an interdisciplinary program that teaches students to synthesize diverse disciplinary knowledge and approaches, and to communicate effectively across disciplinary boundaries as they engage with environmental issues. In addressing these issues, ES students will apply critical thinking and analytical skills within a holistic, systems framework that includes social justice as an essential component.
Curriculum & Courses
Haverford, Bryn Mawr, and Swarthmore also offer an interdisciplinary Tri-Co ES minor, involving departments and faculty on all three campuses from the natural sciences, engineering, mathematics, the social sciences, the humanities, and the arts. The Tri-Co ES minor brings together students and faculty to explore interactions among earth systems, human societies, and local and global environments.
Research & Outreach
Formed in great part in response to strong student interest, our program has been infinitely enriched by ongoing student involvement. Their deep commitment to the environment has helped create an academic community in which classroom rigor goes hand in hand with active engagement in protecting our world.
