<p>What are each of the claremont universities known for? which is the best for a premed student?</p>
<p>Harvey Mudd - engineering</p>
<p>Scripps - women’s college, known for fine arts</p>
<p>Pitzer - extremely liberal, social sciences</p>
<p>Claremont McKenna - economics, government, conservative</p>
<p>Pomona - liberal arts (?)</p>
<p>I would go to Pomona for pre-med. There aren’t many research opportunities at the other schools (or so I’ve heard, but I’m not pre-med).</p>
<p>As The Claremont Colleges grow older, each has become less specialized due to cooperation within the consortium. </p>
<p>Harvey Mudd- Agreed with stella7, definitely for engineering. Bar none. </p>
<p>Scripps - Women’s college, but I would say it is known for it’s core program, very intensive humanties based required classes. </p>
<p>Pitzer - Fairly liberal, true, but definitely great for the social sciences or if you want very loose general education requirements. </p>
<p>Claremont McKenna - Solid College all around, very well known for it’s successful economics and government programs. It is also these departments specifically which tend to be a bit more conservative. </p>
<p>Pomona - Class liberal arts education, many general education requirements, the most well-known member of the consortium. </p>
<p>As for pre-med, Claremont McKenna, Pitzer, and Scripps share the Joint Science Department, so your classes in the sciences, specifically for your pre-med track, would be the same for all of these schools. Pomona has a solid pre-med program as far as I know, but I am not familiar with it. If you want more information on Joint Science, check out its website: [Joint</a> Science Department of the Claremont Colleges](<a href=“http://www.jsd.claremont.edu/]Joint”>http://www.jsd.claremont.edu/)</p>
<p>I also know that Pitzer offers a 7-year D.O. program in collaboration with Western University of Health Sciences. </p>
<p>Hope this helps!</p>
<p>I would disagree with the claim that Pomona has “many general education requirements”.
Pomona’s gen ed requirements consist of:
An ID1 class taken first semester of freshman year.
Four classes of your choice, one from each area outside your major.
Three semester of a foreign languages (this requirement can be tested out of).
One PE class.</p>
