Academics: Departments, Majors and Programs

All undergraduate students at CMC must complete at least one major. Majors can be pursued at CMC or through intercollegiate majors and off-campus majors offered through the Claremont Colleges consortium. Admission to off-campus majors is determined by those programs and is not guaranteed. In addition to completing the major requirements, students have the option to complete a “sequence,” which consists of a set of courses related to a subject, and selected from different disciplines offered at CMC or the other Claremont Colleges (akin to a minor). The college offers a number of accelerated, joint or dual degree programs as listed below. CMC has a single graduate program, a master of arts degree in finance.

Students have the opportunity to pursue a variety of academic areas of interest listed below, including the innovative new Integrated Sciences program and the prestigious Oxford-style PPE program (Philosophy, Politics, and Economics). In addition to traditional CMC majors, the academic areas of interest include dual majors, sequences, and integrated areas within other majors, as well as intercollegiate majors and off-campus majors offered through the Claremont Colleges consortium.
