The courses in this catalog are organized by academic fields and programs. Claremont McKenna College offers majors, sequences, courses, or programs in the fields listed below. For most of the majors CMC offers all required courses, although students may and often are encouraged to take courses at the other Claremont Colleges. For some majors, CMC has joint or cooperative agreements with one or more of the other Claremont Colleges and through these programs students take courses in the major at both CMC and other Claremont Colleges. CMC students may also select a major not offered at CMC but at one of the other Claremont Colleges. Off-campus majors include anthropology, art and art history, Asian, German, Italian, and Russian language and literature, European studies, geology, Latin American studies, and sociology. Details on off-campus majors, programs, and courses may be found at the websites or in the catalogs of these colleges.
