Pomona is one of the nation’s premier liberal arts colleges and ranks #6 for Best Liberal Arts Colleges in U.S. News and World Report. Voted #9 for Best Classroom Experience, the college provides a comprehensive curriculum in the arts, humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences where students are taught in a small and intimate setting. The low student-to-faculty ratio enables students to engage and closely collaborate with professors who are top scholars, while offering an environment for intellectual development and personal growth. Pomona is the founding member of the Claremont Colleges, a consortium that gives students the opportunity to cross-register in courses at Scripps, Claremont McKenna, Harvey Mudd, and Pitzer. As a college known for fostering and producing sharp minds, Pomona has a number of distinguished alumni such as Kris Kristofferson and Roy Disney.
Located within an hour from the Pacific Ocean, the Mojave Desert, the San Gabriel Mountains, and Los Angeles, Pomona’s opportunity for recreational and cultural options are nearly limitless. The school offers its students 280 campus organizations and clubs for all types of interests. For the academically-inclined, there is a Math Club and the Medical Sciences Society; for the more free-thinking, just-for-fun organizations like the Cheese Club and the Cooking in Your Dorm Club make for a well-rounded experience. 98% of Pomona students live on-campus, where the diversity of backgrounds allows peers to challenge one another daily.
