Swarthmore College (/ˈswɔːrθmɔːr/SWORTH-mor, locally /ˈswɑːθmɔːr/SWAHTH-mor)[6] is a private liberal arts college in Swarthmore, Pennsylvania.[7] Founded in 1864, with its first classes held in 1869, Swarthmore is one of the earliest coeducational colleges in the United States.[8] It was established as a college under the Religious Society of Friends.[9] By 1906, Swarthmore had dropped its religious affiliation and officially became non-sectarian.[10]
Swarthmore is an exclusively undergraduate four-year institution.[11] It is a member of the Tri-College Consortium, a cooperative academic arrangement with Bryn Mawr College and Haverford College. Swarthmore is also affiliated with the University of Pennsylvania through the Quaker Consortium, which allows for students to cross-register for classes at all four institutions.[12] Swarthmore offers over 600 courses per year in more than 40 areas of study, including an ABET-accredited engineering program that culminates in a Bachelor of Science in engineering.[13] Swarthmore has a variety of sporting teams with 22 Division III Intercollegiate sports teams, and it competes in the Centennial Conference, a group of private colleges in Pennsylvania and Maryland.[14]
Alumni include five Nobel Prize winners (as of 2016[update], the third-highest number of Nobel Prize winners per graduate in the U.S.),[15] 11 MacArthur Foundation fellows, as well as a number of winners of the Tony Awards, Grammy Awards, Academy Awards and Emmy Awards, and the Guggenheim Fellowship.
