Bryn Mawr teaches and values critical, creative and independent habits of thought and expression in an undergraduate liberal-arts curriculum for women and in coeducational graduate programs in the arts and sciences and in social work and social research . Bryn Mawr seeks to sustain a community diverse in nature and democratic in practice, for we believe that only through considering many perspectives do we gain a deeper understanding of each other and the world . Since its founding in 1885, the College has maintained its character as a small residential community that fosters close working relationships between faculty and students . The faculty of teacher/scholars emphasizes learning through conversation and collaboration, primary reading, original research and experimentation . Our cooperative relationship with Haverford College enlarges the academic opportunities for students and their social com- munity . Our active ties to Swarthmore College and the University of Pennsylvania as well as the proximity of the city of Philadelphia further extend the opportunities available at Bryn Mawr . Living and working together in a community based on mutual respect, personal integrity and the standards of a social and academic Honor Code, each generation of students ex- periments with creating and sustaining a self-governing society within the College . The academic and cocurricular experiences fostered by Bryn Mawr, both on campus and in the College’s wider setting, encourage students to be responsible citizens who provide service and leadership for an increasingly interdependent world .
