Haverford College is a private, liberal arts college located in Haverford, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Philadelphia. The college was founded in 1833 by area members of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) to ensure an education grounded in Quaker values for their young men. It is the oldest college or university in the United States with Quaker origins. Although the college no longer has a formal religious affiliation, the Quaker philosophy still influences campus life. Originally an all-male institution, Haverford began admitting female transfer students in the 1970's, and became fully co-ed in 1980 when the board of managers came to consensus on a proposal initiated by former president John R. Coleman. The reason for the delay was not because of a lack of interest in coeducation in prior years, but rather a concern for how such a change would impact Haverford's relationship with neighboring, all-female Bryn Mawr College. Today more than half of Haverford's students are women. All students at the college are undergraduates, and most live on campus. The current enrollment is 1168 students. Haverford is a member of the Tri-College Consortium, which allows students to register for courses at both Bryn Mawr College and Swarthmore College. Haverford enjoys an especially close and storied relationship, familiarly referred to by students and professors as "Bi-Co" with sister school Bryn Mawr. It is also a member of the Quaker Consortium which allows students to cross-register at the College of General Studies (CGS) at the University of Pennsylvania. Haverford also has a 3-2 engineering program with Caltech which allows a dual degree from Haverford and Caltech. The College was founded in 1833 by area members of the Orthodox Philadelphia Yearly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) to ensure an education grounded in Quaker values for young Quaker men. Although the College no longer has a formal religious affiliation, the Quaker philosophy still influences campus life. Originally an all-male institution, Haverford began admitting female transfer students in the 1970s and became fully co-ed in 1980. Currently, more than half of Haverford's students are women. For most of the 20th century, Haverford's total enrollment was kept below 300, but the school went through two periods of expansion after the 1970s, and its current enrollment is 1,190 students. As of the 2012-2013 academic year, Haverford College's tuition is $43,310; room and board, $13,290; activity fee, $392; and orientation fee, $210. This amounts to a total of $57,202. Haverford is a member of the Tri-College Consortium, which allows students to register for courses at both Bryn Mawr College and Swarthmore College. The College enjoys an especially close relationship with Bryn Mawr College. It is also a member of the Quaker Consortium ("Penn-Pal") which allows students to cross-register at the College of General Studies (CGS) and the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania. The college was ranked 27th among all colleges and universities in the 2013 edition of Forbes' "Top Colleges," and 9th among national liberal arts colleges by the 2012 edition of U.S. News and World Report. A 2012 Forbes ranking on the colleges which produce the most entrepreneurs per capita placed Haverford first among liberal arts colleges (followed by business-oriented Babson College, Harvey Mudd College, Swarthmore College, Claremont McKenna College, Amherst College, and Williams College) and tenth overall (between Yale and Princeton).
