Liberal Arts College

The Bi-College Consortium is a formal relationship between Haverford College and Bryn Mawr College that builds upon and cements more than one hundred years of cooperation and collaboration between the two institutions. The two selective liberal arts colleges have a common foundation and an intertwined history which has seen various degrees of coordination between the two, especially when both operated as single-sex institutions (Bryn Mawr remains so). Both colleges have developed reputations as prestigious, highly selective, and academic rigorous institutions and have long-been associated with the upper classes of American society, despite their progressive Quaker ethos, albeit they are amongst the most socially inclusive third-level schools in the United States today.
