Intercollegiate Programs

The Claremont Colleges are a unique educational consortium in the United States. Each individual member of the consortium is small, yet combined we provide our students with facilities and resources offered at few American institutions. Students at the five undergraduate Claremont Colleges take classes, pursue areas of study and consult professors across the adjoining campuses. The following links are to some of the consortium's shared academic programs:

American Studies Program
Sponsored by the five undergraduate Claremont Colleges, American Studies is a multidisciplinary major that encourages students to think critically and creatively about cultures in the United States. The American Studies Program is coordinated by an intercollegiate faculty whose aim is to introduce students to the complexity of the American experience. Majors take courses in a variety of disciplines such as literature, history, sociology, anthropology, political science, music, and the visual arts. In addition, majors take multidisciplinary courses that use materials from different disciplines to explore a particular issue in American life.

Classics Department
Classics is the name traditionally given to the study of the languages, literature, art, archaeology, and culture of ancient Greece and Rome from the Bronze Age to the early Middle Ages. The Department of Classics also encourages and sponsors undergraduate study of other aspects of the civilizations of the ancient Mediterranean, including Biblical Hebrew and the religions and cultures of the ancient Near East.
