Study Abroad
Each year,
over one-third of Bryn Mawr’s junior class studies
abroad. Their time abroad deepens and expands their understanding
of the world, and when they return to campus, they bring new
ideas and fresh experience into the College community.

The Emily Balch Seminars
The Balch Seminars introduce all first-year students at Bryn Mawr to a critical, probing, thoughtful approach to the world and our roles in it. These challenging seminars are taught by scholar/teachers of distinction within their fields and across academic disciplines. They facilitate the seminars as active discussions among students, not lectures. Through intensive reading and writing, the thought-provoking Balch Seminars challenge students to think about complex, wide-ranging issues from a variety of perspectives.

Independent Study
Hands-on experience is critical to a Bryn Mawr education. In a
typical year, Bryn Mawr students collaborate with faculty on more
than 500 independent study projects. Research at Bryn Mawr is
defined broadly, conducted rigorously and supported and supervised
by the College’s professors.

A.B./M.A. Program
Bryn Mawr's unusual combination of an undergraduare liberal-arts college and several strong graduate programs allows the College to offer a combined A.B. / M.A. program, which lets the very well-prepared undergraduate student work toward a master's degree while still completing her bachelor's degree.
Ten departments offer the combined-degree program.
