The College
Claremont sits at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains and is a lively small city. The original Claremont community began in 1887 as a frontier town and Pomona was founded in 1888 as a “New England-style” college for the west coast.
The college teaches a liberal arts curriculum and has been ranked as one of the top liberal arts schools in the nation, recognized as a leading graduator of Fulbright Scholars. During the school year, Pomona collaborates with six neighboring institutions, which together comprise the Claremont Colleges.
