    From Pomona College

    Pomona College has everything you might expect from one of the nation’s finest liberal arts colleges. But before you assume we're generic, consider that we are within an hour of mountains, deserts, beaches and the country’s second largest city. Our Los Angeles-adjacent location is as stellar a launching pad for those in the arts as those interested in tech and science research.

    Pomona is also one of the 5 Claremont Colleges, a consortium enabling its students to cross-register for 2,700 classes and mingle with over 6,000 peers across our adjacent campuses. So even though our small classes (averaging 13), strength across the curriculum (with 48 majors) and tight-knit residential life (4 years guaranteed housing) might seem common, Pomona College is unique.

    Pomona College is one of a handful of institutions committed to need-blind admissions and meeting the full demonstrated financial need of all students who enroll. We do not include loans in our aid packages.

    academic spotlight

    Pomona offers students 69 programs in 39 countries. Whether it's an archaeological program in Belize, or an academic program in Cambridge, England or Kyoto, Japan, about half of our students participate in off-campus study. To ensure equal access, the College charges the same fees for a semester or year off-campus as for that time spent on campus and extends financial aid to cover the time away.
