Pomona College and Claremont Graduate University are discussing a potential affiliation that could strengthen graduate education in The Claremont Colleges and create new opportunities for both institutions. Such an affiliation, if finalized, would aim to preserve CGU's important role in the consortium while positioning both schools to innovate and thrive in an evolving higher education landscape. Together, the two institutions have the potential to build on complementary strengths and deepen a shared commitment to excellence in education.
Pomona and CGU have been working through the terms of this proposed affiliation agreement, informed by due diligence and ongoing engagement with our community. We continue to welcome feedback from faculty, staff, students, alumni, and families as we work through this process. Both the Pomona and CGU Boards of Trustees are expected to consider the agreement this fall.
