Academics
At Claremont McKenna College, academics are defined by a powerful combination of rigor, relevance, and real-world impact. As a leading liberal arts institution, CMC empowers students to pursue knowledge across disciplines—blending the humanities, sciences, and social sciences.
Areas of Study
Students can choose from over 30 majors and interdisciplinary programs, many of which are designed to integrate theory with real-world application.
Faculty
CMC's exceptional faculty, who represent the best in their fields, are dedicated to nurturing intellectual depth and growth while developing students’ capacity to think critically, speak freely, debate respectfully, and listen actively.
Research Opportunities
For students, CMC makes the world a personal laboratory. This means students have real opportunities to work side-by-side with professors and fellow students on living problems that need focused attention. Research opportunities are available through our 11 research institutes, independent student research, and the summer research program.
