Notable programs
Economics
Among the strongest LAC economics programs nationally, with cross-registration into CMC's quantitative finance and public policy courses producing a combined economics ecosystem comparable to mid-sized universities. Top placement at McKinsey, Bain, BCG, and major investment banks.
Neuroscience
Recently expanded with the 2024 sciences building, the program offers paid undergraduate research with faculty publishing in top journals. Above-90 percent medical school acceptance rates for students completing the structured advising track.
Computer Science (via Harvey Mudd cross-registration)
Pomona's own CS department is small but full Harvey Mudd cross-registration extends the curriculum into one of the top undergraduate CS programs nationally. Students who use this path effectively receive Mudd-level CS preparation with Pomona's broader liberal arts foundation.
Public Policy Analysis (5C)
Joint program across all five Claremont Colleges combining political science, economics, and quantitative methods. Strong placement into federal agencies, think tanks, and graduate policy programs.
Art and Art History
Strong studio art and art history departments with shared resources across Pomona and Scripps. The Benton Museum on campus provides curatorial and research opportunities rare at LACs of this scale.
Mathematics
Department holds Putnam top-20 finishes regularly and feeds top PhD programs. Cross-registration into Harvey Mudd mathematics extends advanced coursework in applied math, combinatorics, and dynamical systems.
