Featured Program: Praxis
Praxis, Bryn Mawr's experiential, community-based learning program, is premised on the principle that social responsibility and "real world" preparedness are achieved through a combination of classroom-based theory with practical experience. The essence of Praxis is the integration of intensive academic study with rigorous, relevant fieldwork. Learn More
Featured Program: 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. Scholar/teachers of distinction within their fields and across academic disciplines facilitate the seminars as active discussions among students, not lectures. Through intensive reading and writing, the Balch Seminars challenge students to think about complex, wide-ranging issues from a variety of perspectives. Learn More

A Bryn Mawr education is designed to encourage intellectual exploration, independent initiative, advanced research, and the mastery of skills essential to meaningful scholarship: critical reasoning, reasoned argument, clear expression, and the ability to solve problems creatively and work across disciplines.
"Before coming to Bryn Mawr, I never imagined being able to attend graduate school."
