Harvey Mudd College Description:
Unlike most top science and engineering schools in the country, Harvey Mudd College is focused entirely on undergraduate education, and the curriculum has strong grounding in the liberal arts. Located in Claremont, California, Harvey Mudd is a member of the Claremont Colleges with Scripps College, Pitzer College, Claremont McKenna College, and Pomona College. Students at any of these five highly selective colleges can easily cross-register for courses on the other campuses, and the schools share many resources. Because of this collaboration, Harvey Mudd is a small college with the resources of a much larger one.
