About the Claremont Colleges
The Claremont Colleges
Each of the Claremont Colleges has its own student body, faculty, administration, campus, curricular emphasis, and individual style and purpose. And yet, because of their adjoining campuses, the colleges form a mutually beneficial partnership to offer joint academic programs and cross-registration in courses, to cultivate special curricular strengths on which the others may draw, to encourage contact and cooperation among faculty and students from different campuses, and to combine physical facilities and extracurricular programs.
The Claremont University Consortium
The Claremont University Consortium provides the academic resources commensurate with a thriving intellectual community: a library system with over 2 million volumes and 6000 serial subscriptions; a bookstore that carries tradebooks, computers, and other merchandise; a health service and a counseling center with professional staffs; computing laboratories; a science center; a biological field station; a 2,500-seat concert hall; a 350-seat theater; a center for religious activities; centers for African-American, Latino, Asian-American, LGBTQ, and international students; and more. In essence, any student at The Claremont Colleges has the best of both worlds: the close, individualized academic nurturing of a small college and the resources of the entire Claremont cluster.
