Pomona College |
When the founders of Pomona created "a college of the New England type" in California in 1887, they not only emulated the eastern institutions they had attended, but they also built a college that would itself become a model for higher education.
A recent Fiske Guide to Colleges (New York Times Books) states unequivocally that Pomona is "the finest liberal arts college in the West."
Among the over 40 Departments are Archeoastronomy, Environmental Analysis, Molecular Biology and Russian Language, Literature & Culture.
The College is located in Claremont, Los Angeles County, CA, and has an enrollment of about 1500. Student housing is available for 1300.
