School Notes:
  • Originally founded as Claremont Men's College, CMC became coeducational in 1976 and changed its name to Claremont McKenna College in 1981 in honor of its most visionary and founding trustee, Donald C. McKenna.
  • Claremont McKenna College covers nearly fifty acres in the heart of The Claremont Colleges in Claremont, California. A comfortable college town of 35,000 residents, Claremont is nestled at the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains and 35 miles east of downtown Los Angeles.
  • CMC houses eleven on-campus Research Institutes, offering students and faculty the unique opportunity to merge research, teaching and learning. CMC is also a member of The Claremont Colleges, a consortium of five undergraduate college and two graduate institutions. Based on the Oxford/Cambridge model, The Claremont Colleges represent the only planned consortium in the United States offering CMC students diverse opportunities and resources typically only found at much larger universities.
