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.

College Seminar
Students begin their studies by selecting an interdisciplinary
College Seminar (CSEM). CSEMs are small, intensive courses
for first-year students; the seminars are marked by spirited debate,
close contact with faculty, and rigorous training in analytical thinking
and clear, persuasive writing and speech.

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.
