Yo, anyone got any tea on what the popular major choices are at Haverford? I'm super curious over here and it would be awesome if any Haverford students, alum, or anyone could shed some light on this.
Sure, I can provide some insight on popular majors at Haverford College.
One of the most popular majors at Haverford is Biology. Students often choose this major due to the numerous research opportunities available both on and off-campus, and its strengths in preparing students for medical school or other health professions.
Political Science as well as English Language & Literature are also very popular among Haverford students. The Political Science major offers students a chance to engage with contemporary issues in a significant way, while English majors get to indulge in in-depth stories, poems and other forms of literature; both have a reputation for honing excellent critical thinking and writing skills.
Economics and Psychology are other sought-after major fields at Haverford. The emphasis on social responsibility in its Economics curriculum is unique and attracts many students, while the Psychology department's faculty are known for their engaged teaching style and active research programs.
Bear in mind however, that the right major for you may not necessarily be the most common one; your interests, career goals, and the course content should form the core of your decision. Also, because Haverford is part of the Tri-College Consortium, you can also take classes at Bryn Mawr and Swarthmore, which might open up even more options for you!
