Quaker Consortium

Quaker Consortium

The Quaker Consortium is an arrangement between three liberal arts colleges, Bryn Mawr College, Haverford College, Swarthmore College, and one research university, the University of Pennsylvania, in the greater Philadelphia area. The arrangement allows for their students to enroll in courses at the other schools of the Consortium.

The three liberal arts colleges facilitate transportation between their respective campuses with free shuttle services. No such service is offered between the liberal arts colleges and Penn. Students wishing to get to Penn must drive or take the SEPTA R5 or R3 trains to Philadelphia. Some programs at the liberal arts colleges subsidize these SEPTA fares.
