Pomona
College Ranked #6 in U.S. News & World Report
|
 |
Pomona College is ranked sixth among all liberal arts
colleges in America by U.S. News & World Report in
the magazine's 2006 guide to “America's Best Colleges.”
Pomona also ranked second in selectivity; and fourth in the
categories “great schools, great prices” and financial
resources.
In the most recent survey of the nation’s 215 liberal arts
colleges, released today, Pomona tied for the sixth place
spot with Bowdoin College in Maine. Williams College (MA)
was ranked first, followed by Amherst College (MA),
Swarthmore College (PA), Wellesley College (MA) and Carleton
(MN).
In the previous 10 years of the U.S. News survey, the
college has finished fifth seven times, along with one
fourth-place and one seventh-place ranking.
Pomona College administrators were pleased to be again named
among the nation’s leading small liberal arts colleges. “I’m
happy that Pomona’s high-quality education continues to be
recognized,” said David Oxtoby, Pomona's president. “At the
heart of the Pomona educational experience are small
classes, close student-faculty relationships and
opportunities for student research and collaboration. We’re
fortunate to have the financial resources to make a Pomona
education available to every accepted student by meeting
full financial need.”
Pomona College is the founding member of The Claremont
Colleges, a consortium of five independent undergraduate and
two graduate institutions, that did particularly well in the
U.S. News rankings. Among the other members of the
consortium to be named, Claremont McKenna College tied for
10th; Harvey Mudd College was 18th; Scripps College tied for
27th; and Pitzer College tied at 53rd. The Claremont
Colleges are located in Los Angeles County, California. For
