This is where you come to catch the Blue Bus, the shuttle running back and forth between Haverford and Bryn Mawr, allowing students to easily take advantage of the academic, extra-curricular, and social offerings of both schools. There are certain departments Bryn Mawr has, like Art History, which we do not. And there are certain departments we have, like Japanese, which they do not.
Departments usually have a focus or areas of concentration.
The beauty of having two departments to draw upon instead of one is that you can broaden the range of specialties in which you can take classes and major. For instance, Biology at Haverford is cellular and molecular in nature, while Biology at Bryn Mawr is done on a more macro-level, with a great deal of strength in neurobiology. Extra-curricular and social exchanges between the colleges are just as lively. Our orchestra and choruses are joined, as is our newspaper. The Colleges pool money to bring concerts, movie series and speakers to each school.
