Strategic Partnership Initiative

The Boards of Trustees of Pomona College and Claremont Graduate University have approved a strategic partnership that could strengthen graduate education in The Claremont Colleges and create new opportunities for both institutions. The affiliation aims 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 College has spent more than a year conducting due diligence and engaging with our community on important questions about the proposed partnership and its impact on Pomona's mission and community. We continue to welcome feedback from faculty, staff, students, alumni, and families as we work through the next stages in this process and await the regulatory approvals required to finalize the affiliation.
