Claremont McKenna College - The Consortium

The Consortium

All seven colleges are part of the Claremont University Consortium, also known as "the 7-Cs." Together the campuses cover over 300 acres (120 ha) and enroll over 6,000 students. In addition there are over 3,500 faculty and staff and more than 2,500 courses available.

Student life revolves around the colleges as they interact socially and also share seven dining halls, four main libraries, and other facilities spread throughout the campuses. Notable facilities include:

• Honnold/Mudd Library and the Libraries of the Claremont Colleges, the largest collection of any liberal arts college
• Bridges Auditorium and Concert Hall
• Scripps Performing Arts Center and Seaver Theater Complex
• W.M. Keck Science Center
• Monsour Counseling Center
• Huntley Bookstore

Students attending Claremont McKenna can enroll in up to 2/3 of their classes at the other undergraduate colleges, and can also major at any of the other colleges if the major is not offered at CMC. This is the general academic policy at the schools, and is meant to give students the resources of a larger university while still maintaining the qualities of a small, liberal-arts college.
