Since its founding in 1885, 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 arts and sciences and 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. |

- When Bryn Mawr College opened its doors in 1885, it offered women a more ambitious academic program
than any previously available to them in the United States. Other women's colleges existed, but Bryn Mawr was the first to
offer graduate education through the Ph.D. - a signal that its founders refused to accept the limitations imposed on women's
intellectual achievement at other institutions.
- Bryn Mawr prides itself on diversity: students of color and international students make up over a
third of the enrollment. Bryn Mawr's student body is composed of women from 49 states and 40 foreign countries. Diversity is
evident in every classroom and residence hall on campus. Living and growing in a community made up of women from different
cultures, races and ideological viewpoints is a central aspect of a Bryn Mawr education.
- The Bryn Mawr faculty has 146 full-time faculty members, of whom 50% are female and 18% are professors
of color. The College's student-to-faculty ratio is 8:1
- At Bryn Mawr, community doesn’t mean uniformity. A rich variety of cultural backgrounds, talents and
viewpoints among Bryn Mawr’s students challenges the assumptions of each individual and extends the learning environment far
beyond the classroom. Cultural events, student organizations and publications, athletics, parties and campus traditions all
keep students busy outside the classroom, but everyday events like meals in the dining hall or late-night conversations are
often among the most memorable parts of life at Bryn Mawr simply because they are shared with extraordinary friends.
- Bryn Mawr College is located on a 135-acre suburban campus, 11 miles west of Philadelphia. It has an
enrollment of more than 1,300 undergraduates.
