Bryn Mawr College.
McBride received her Bachelor of Arts from Bryn Mawr College, as well as her graduate degrees. Her research was in aphasia and adult intelligence. Prior to becoming president of Bryn Mawr College, she served as dean of Radcliffe College—much like her predecessor, Marion Edwards Park.
During her tenure as president, McBride oversaw the opening of the Child Study Institute, the creation of a lab nursery school, and the construction of Mariam Coffin Canaday Library, Erdman Hall, Haffner Hall, and additions to the Park Science Center.
From her research she internalized what she called "an inclination to ask about every event or kind of behavior, "What can we learn from this?"".
