<p>Ok, I really need some help/advice here: </p>
<p>I got accepted to Kenyon and waiting on Haverford. I thought that I really wanted Haverford, but now I'm not sure. Can anyone give me some advice? Any information you have about cirriculum requirements, how easy it is to double major, and campus culture would be incredible!</p>
<p>Are you off the wait list? Have you had the chance to look at Haverford's webpage for your answers? Without knowing more details it is hard to help you further (for example a double major in chemisty and english may be harder than pol sci and econ).</p>
<p>ok, I am considering a double major in art history and American history (or history with US concentration). I can't figure out the number of credits a student needs outside their major to graduate. Again, Any information about campus or student culture, teachers, anything you can think of which makes either haverford or kenyon stand out would be amazing.</p>
<p>ok that might be a little tough. an art history major must be completed at Bryn Mawr college and there are a lot of course restrictions and requirements (1 class in baroque, 1 in contemporary, etc. mandatory junior seminar) but few course offerings every year (fewer than a dozen). you also have to choose an area of concentration and complete a 30 page thesis.</p>
<p>the art histroy dept. focus is definitely more on classical and renaissance as oppose to contemporary (reason why i'm not an art history major). the profs are great though from my experiences, a tad stuffy and pretentious - almost all are harvard grads. </p>
<p>i don't know much about the haverford history major. i do know that haverford requires that you maintain at least a 3.5 GPA to double major and i believe as of 2006 you need 19 credits (i.e. 19 different courses) outside your major. you should have no problem fulfilling the school distribution requirments (see website) since history is social science and art history is a humanity.</p>
<p>also, if you plan on doing graduate work for either history or art history, the departments rec. reading knowledge of german</p>
