Pomona
College Named One of “The New Ivies” In Kaplan/Newsweek
2007 College Guide
|
 |
Kaplan and Newsweek announced today that they have
named Pomona College to its elite “New Ivies” list,
published in the 2007 Kaplan/Newsweek “How to Get
into College Guide.” The Guide will be available on August
21.
Pomona College, a liberal arts college founded in 1887, is
the founding member of the prestigious Claremont Colleges.
Pomona offers its 1500 students a challenging curriculum in
the arts, humanities, social sciences and natural sciences
including an extraordinary range of interdisciplinary
fields. Pomona’s student-to-faculty ratio is 8-to-1, and the
average class size is 14 students.
The College is known for close relationships between
students and faculty and a range of opportunities for
student research. In spring 2006, 12 members of the Class of
2006 were awarded Fulbright Fellowships to pursue research
or teach around the globe.
On the social side, Pomona College hosts more than 100
speakers, concerts and field trips in to the surrounding
communities each semester. It also treats its freshmen to a
four-day Orientation Adventure, sending them on small group
trips to a variety of urban or outdoor locations from
sailing to Catalina and hiking in the Sierras to local
community service projects. Ski/Beach Day and the annual
Death by Chocolate party are also popular.
In addition to Pomona, two other Southern California
colleges were named to the “New Ivies” list: Harvey Mudd
College, another member of the Claremont Colleges, and the
University of California, Los Angeles. Reed College, in
Portland, OR, is the only other West Coast institution to
make the list.
The 2007 Kaplan/Newsweek “How to Get into College
Guide” also features the article “How I’ll Read Your Essay,”
by Pomona College Vice President and Dean of Admissions
Bruce J. Poch.
