CMC’s founders aspired to create the most effective model for educating students for responsible leadership. From our earliest days, we have maintained small class sizes and recruited a cadre of excellent teacher-scholars; CMC’s humble beginnings, focused on a practical, results-driven education, have contributed to the CMC of today and beyond.

Structured leadership development programming focuses on core capabilities and qualities of character for responsible leadership and success, while support for residential life emphasizes community values, ethics, and respect.

We promote a healthy campus culture through strong physical, behavioral, and mental health strategies of community, purpose, and play, and support (CMS)Claremont-Mudd-Scripps Athletics as the most competitive athletic program for scholar-leader-athletes. CMC’s Public Art Program enriches the cultural, intellectual, and scholarly life of our community.
