<p>This seems like a smart design.</p>

<p>"Many liberal arts colleges currently have 3+2 program in conjunction with engineering schools, said Rob Scarrow, professor of chemistry and director of Haverfords Koshland Integrated Natural Sciences Center. But many students lose interest in 3 + 2 programs when they realize that they will miss their senior year at their undergraduate institution. Thus, I am pleased that we have been able to design and offer this 4+1 program with Penn which makes it possible for students to spend a full four years in residence at Haverford.</p>
<p>Scarrow, along with Professor of Physics Walter Smith, participated in the early planning discussions with Penn that lead to the design of the new program. "I believe this is the first 4+1 partnership in the country between an elite liberal arts college and an elite engineering program, said Smith. I'm very excited about the way this opens up options for our students, and about the range of engineering programs at Penn."<<<</p>
