Claremont Schools vs Northeast LAC

College Search & Selection
54

  1. CS is probably the fastest growing department at every top LAC I’m aware of, so it doesn’t surprise me that there’s lot of migration to Mudd (especially, considering three of the 5Cs don’t have classes of their own.) What’s interesting here is that if you go to LinkedIn and check out the baccalaureate origins of Google software engineers, Pomona doesn’t seem to be head and shoulders above any of the NESCACs (but, that’s a very jittery website and you’re liable to get slightly different numbers with every visit.)

  2. It’s funny, when I run a search for “CG”, the abbreviation for Claremont Graduate University in the Pomona course catalogue, I could only retrieve three courses, one for an Education course, one in Religion and one in English. Obviously not exhaustive, but it does seem odd that more information isn’t readily available on advanced work on any of the 5C websites.

  3. You’ve made my point about athletics at the 5Cs (Williams alone has more athletes than the combined total of three of the five.) Not sure why you wasted time challenging it.
