About Claremont Graduate University

The university’s 19 acre, tree-lined campus is located in Claremont, California (pop. 34,000) within Los Angeles County (pop. 9.95 million). Claremont Graduate University, also know as CGU, is a member of the Claremont Colleges, seven schools of higher education located in Claremont. These include five undergraduate institutions, Claremont McKenna College, Harvey Mudd College, Pitzer College, Pomona College, Scripps College, and two graduate, Claremont Graduate University and the Keck Graduate Institute.
The Claremont Colleges were designed to incorporate the Oxford Model of higher education. Instead of one large university composed of several separate schools, the Claremont Colleges are made up of different institutions designed around differing theories of pedagogy. Claremont Graduate University was founded upon the principal that graduate education is separate and distinct from undergraduate education. Students discover and cultivate their disciplines during undergraduate course work; at CGU students continue cultivation of their own disciplines, but are also expected to augment this with research that incorporates other disciplines as well. This is called transdisciplinarity, and is an essential component of Claremont Graduate University’s functioning theory of pedagogy.
The school is home to over 2,000 masters and PhD students, as well as approximately 170 full and part-time faculty members. The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching has classified Claremont Graduate University as a Comprehensive Doctoral/no medical or veterinary. Their eight academic schools and one independent department award master's and doctoral degrees in 22 disciplines. Enrollment is limited and classes are small.
