<p>I wanted to know if anyone had any insight on the computer science program at Pomona? Are most of the classes taken at Pomona, Harvey Mudd, or another claremont school? </p>
<p>There is another thread from last year with a few comments.</p>
<p><a href=“Computer Science At Pomona and Mudd - Pomona College - College Confidential Forums”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/pomona-college/1510624-computer-science-at-pomona-and-mudd.html</a></p>
<p>My D is a sophomore considering majoring in computer science, so she is only taking her second class, but they have been at Pomona so far.</p>
<p>Thanks so much! @mamabear1234</p>
<p>My Daughter is a freshman considering majoring in computer science, she loves everything about Pomona, including the class sizes; all her classes has more than 25 students, there are more than 50 students in her computer class!<br>
She chose Pomona partly because of the claimed small class size, but she is OK or even happy with what she really got.</p>
<p>It has become a very popular major, she knows students who have not been able to register for a required course for next spring, but expects they will find a way to get them in to the class or have another section.</p>
I think I’ve written about this in other threads, but the short answer is that the Pomona CS department is joint with Harvey Mudd. What that really means is that some upper division classes are only offered at either HMC or Pomona during a given semester, or you can take that class at the other school if there is no space in the class at your home school. The intro sequence, which is 3 classes, should all be taken at the same school. Previously, Pomona students could choose to take the intro sequence at HMC instead of Pomona (often considered to be better classes). HMC is starting to make it harder and harder for non-Mudders to get into their CS classes, though, as the department has gotten a bit strained over the past couple of years with a rapid increase in the number of CS majors.
