Student Exchange Programs
Under arrangements made each year, Pomona sophomores,
juniors and first-semester
seniors may study as exchange students for a semester at
Colby College in Waterville, Maine; Smith College in
Northampton, Mass.; Spelman College in Atlanta; or
Swarthmore College in Swarthmore, Penn. Interested students
should ask for further information from the Office of
Student Affairs. A program for sophomores and juniors for an
entire academic year is possible at the California Institute
of Technology. Professor Catalin Mitescu in the Department
of Physics can provide information on this program.
Washington Semester Program of Claremont McKenna College
Claremont McKenna College operates a semester program in
Washington, D.C., which
combines traditional coursework with an emphasis on
internships in a wide variety of public and private
organizations. This program is open to applicants from
Pomona College and is offered both semesters. Academic work
in the program consists of a full-time internship, two
weekly seminars and a research project. Four course credits
are earned by successfully completing all of these
activities. Candidates selected for the program pay regular
tuition to Pomona College while paying for their own room
and board and remain eligible for financial aid. The program
pays travel expenses to and from Washington, D.C., within
certain limits. Students have the primary responsibility for
finding accommodations in Washington. Students interested in
the program should contact Professors Leo Flynn, David
Menefee-Libey or Richard Worthington in the Pomona Politics
Department.
Combined 3-2 Plan in Engineering:
California Institute of Technology and Washington University
in St. Louis
Qualified students may receive a Bachelor of Arts degree
from Pomona College and a Bachelor of Science degree from
the California Institute of Technology or Washington
University in St. Louis after a combined five-year program,
the first three years of which are taken at Pomona. Students
pursuing this plan will be accepted at Caltech and
Washington University under an expedited procedure less
elaborate than admission as a transfer student, if
recommended by Pomona and if they have the requisite grade
point average in science and mathematics courses at Pomona.
Caltech specifically reserves the right to limit both the
number of students admitted in certain fields of study (even
to exclude some fields—currently, electrical engineering)
under the 3-2 program and the financial aid they may offer
to accepted students. Interested students should consult
with Professor Alma Zook as soon as possible after
their arrival on campus. Under a feature of Washington
University in St. Louis’ Dual-Degree program, the Pomona
College faculty liaison is authorized to award each year one
two-year merit scholarship, covering half-tuition at
Washington University, to a suitably qualified Pomona
College candidate about to enter the 3-2 program with a GPA
of at least 10.5 (i.e., 3.5/4).
Students must plan to satisfy the General Education
requirements of Pomona
College, and course requirements of the second institution
should be carefully considered in consultation with the
adviser. In addition, the following lower-division courses
should be completed: Physics 51A,B; Physics 101; Mathematics
102; and Chemistry 1A,B. Satisfaction of the Pomona College
major in Pre-Engineering for those students who transfer at
the end of the junior year requires at least five
upper-division courses in physical science and mathematics,
selected in close consultation with the faculty adviser,
from among those courses normally required for a major in
Physics or Chemistry.
