The Katharine E. McBride Scholars Program was created to give women, 24 or above, who for one reason or another did not begin or complete their education immediately following high school, an opportunity to attend Bryn Mawr College.
The program admits women who have demonstrated talent, achievement, and intelligence in various areas including employment, volunteer activities, and home or formal study. McBride Scholars may study on a part-time or full-time basis.
Once admitted to the College, McBride Scholars must take a minimum of 24 course units at Bryn Mawr. Exceptions will be made for students who transfer more than eight units from previous work. Such students may transfer up to 16 units and must then take at least 16 units at Bryn Mawr.
